Solar Thermal Workshop Raleigh, North Carolina June 12th 2009
Specific location and time TBA.
Nestled among the native long-leaf pines in the heart of the Tar Heel State lies a band of progressive, prosperous communities with a quality of life which has landed Raleigh and the family of communities that make up the Research Triangle region of North Carolina among the nation’s best places to live, start a business, raise a family, and earn a world-class education.
The Research Triangle (or simply Triangle, as we like to call our area of North Carolina for short) is so named due to educational institutions such as North Carolina State University in Raleigh, Duke University in Durham, and the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, which are three of the nation’s top research universities.
At the center of our region is Research Triangle Park, the nation’s largest planned research development community, where you’ll find some of the world’s largest corporations as well as promising fledgling businesses, working side-by-side.
North Carolina is known for its mild weather and natural beauty. We enjoy an average annual temperature of about 60 degrees Fahrenheit, but we also have four distinct seasons. We get an occasional snow that keeps the kids happy in winter, incredible flowers and lush greenery in the spring and summer, and a brilliant display of color in the fall.
SunMaxx Solar offers a complete selection of solar hot water products, such as the SunMaxx TS20 and the SunMaxx TS30. These thermosyphon systems require no pumps or electronics in order to opoerate. Simply install one of these systems for your home, facing the system into the sun as much as possible, and you, too, can reduce your dependance on fossil fuels while enjoying free hot water.

Operational Basics of a Solar Thermosyphon System:
Through the process of natural convection, hot water rises and cold water sinks. This is the key principle which explains the operation of a Thermosyphon System. Cold water sinks from the storage tank at the top of the unit, into the evacuated tubes where that cold water is heated. As the water increases in temperature, it rises back up into the storage tank. Throughout the day, all of the cold water within the Thermpsyphon System will be heated in this way.

Silicon Solar offers a number of seminars throughout the year as a way to to help homeowners, small business owners, and renewable energy dealers and installers learn basic and advanced concepts and techniques for Solar Electric (PV) Systems, Solar Thermal (Hot Water and Hot Air) Systems and Wind Energy Systems.
These seminars and workshops are designed specifically to help newcomers to the renewable energy field get a basic or advanced understanding of the various renewable energy options that are available and how these different systems can be applied, at home or around the office, to save hundreds or even thousands of dollars a year in energy costs. Also, for renewable energy dealers and installers, these seminars offer the perfect way to stay up to date on the latest renewable energy equipment, news, industry trends and sales techniques.
Silicon Solar Seminars are great for anyone interested in renewable energy, no matter what their Solar Technologies knowledge level might be at the start of the seminar. Even those who have only heard the words solar energy, wind energy, or solar hot water will leave our seminars with an understanding of how renewable energy will help them save money, how these same systems can help save the environment, and what renewable energy options are available and affordable on any budget.
