Description
People living in torri decided to realize a post-petroleum life experiment at Ciappa de Vena.
Within the bunch of ideas (Evaporative fridges, solar ovans, biogas and much more) we started from the one of realizing at Ciappa a low cost solar collector.
After considering a lot of ideas, we chose to use an already existing collector, that was already at the village, integrating it with concentrating mirrors, made up by wood and a reflecting coating.
The panel was installed at the beginning of July 2009, as soonas we get some news and feedbacks, we'll post them.
