Solar Thermal Workshop Toronto, Canada June 27th 2009
Time and location TBA
Toronto's diversity is apparent around every corner. This thriving metropolis of 2.5 million residents (8.1 million in the Greater Toronto Area) offers every flavor of the world, high-end and bargain bin shopping, renowned attractions, skyscrapers and fancy restaurants tucked in the basement of century old buildings.
To the newcomer, Toronto can be a gargantuan maze of congested highways and overcrowded streets, however, with a little guidance those buzzing streets can be easily navigated and the best Toronto has to offer can readily be found. The best parts of this mega-city reflect its unique past, appreciate its colourful present and promise to attract people for years to come.
Defining the Toronto skyline, the CN Tower is Canada's most recognizable and celebrated icon. At a height of 553.33m (1,815 ft., 5 inches), it is Canada’s National Tower, the World's Tallest Building, an important telecommunications hub, and the centre of tourism in Toronto.
Each year, approximately 2 million people visit the CN Tower to take in the breath-taking view and enjoy all the attractions it has to offer. For those with a green thumb, there are also the Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington, Ontario. Built in the 1930s as a make-work project, this property features over 121 ha (300 acres) of gardens and 971 ha (2,400 acres) of land along the western edge of Lake Ontario. Canada's largest botanical gardens, the Royal Botanical Gardens nurture the growth of the most extensive remaining population of Canada's most endangered tree, the Red Mulberry.
Specific location and time TBA.

Operational Basics of a Solar Thermosyphon System:
Through the process of natural convection, hot water rises and cold water sinks. This principle is the basis of how a Thermosyphon System operates. Cold water sinks from the storage tank at the top of the unit, into the evacuated tubes. In the tubes, that cold water is heated. As the temperature of the water rises, the water moves 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 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 specially designed as a way for newcomers to the renewable energy field get a basic or advanced understanding of the different renewable energy options that are available and of 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. These seminars also help renewable energy dealers and installers stay up to date on the latest renewable energy equipment, news, industry trends and sales techniques.
Silicon Solar Seminars are beneficial for anyone interested in renewable energy, regardless of their knowledge level 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 to save money, how these same systems can help to save the environment, and what renewable energy options are available and affordable on any budget.
