The six banks of solar thermal collectors on Cornelius Koster's garage suite provide more than enough hot water and heating for his garage suite. Surplus energy is exported to the main home where he has drastically reduced his electricity and heating bills as well.

On the south wall of Cornelius Koster's net-positive garage suite the solar thermal modules partially shade the window – allowing light through, but not too much light. Photo David Dodge, GreenEnergyFutures.ca See blog, video and CKUA podcast: www.greenenergyfutures.ca/episode/solar-thermal-101
This 11.28 kW solar system is mounted on a large rack structure designed to securely hold the 44 ISOFOTON 245-watt solar panels. The electricity captured by the panels is converted from DC to AC by two large SMA inverters, which were selected to maximize the amount of power produced by this new solar photovoltaic array.
SE CERT hosted a public forum on community solar on August 21 from 1-4pm at Carleton College. The more than 50 attendees learned about both community solar garden projects in the southeast region and Carleton College’s solar projects!
Okay, this is just a cool photo looking down inside a solar vacuum tube that collects energy from the sun and uses it to heat water which is used for domestic hotwater and in a hydronic air heating system in the garage suite.

On Thursday, May 3rd, 2012, 46 people from the Mahtomedi Area came together to learn how they can add a solar system to their own home.
Cornelius Koster installed solar thermal collectors to heat and provide hot water for his garage suite. And he also installed solar PV to provide renewable electricity to the garage suite that produces more energy than it requires reaching the status of net-positive.

99 people gathered in Woodbury, MN on March 1, 2012 for a free workshop to learn the basics about solar energy, hear from a panel of homeowners and businesses that have installed solar projects, find out about incentives and rebates for installing solar, and get resources to start their own solar energy projects. The event was organized by Metro CERT in partnership with the Woodbury Environmental Advisory Commission. Click here to learn more.

The Milyering Visitor Centre claims to be solar powered, but all we saw was this one itsy bitsy panel. There were empty racks on the roof, presumably where an array used to be, but who knows what happened to them. The centre also had other environmentally friendly features such as rainwater tanks, composting toilets, passive solar features, rammed earth walls, etc.

Solar vacuum tubes are pretty simple. A vacuum drastically reduces heat loss and the double-walled glass tubes turn light energy into heat that radiates up the copper rod to the copper rod on the end where the heat is transferred into a glycol solution that runs through the end of the solar collectors.

On Thursday, April 29, 2015 Metro CERT hosted a tour of the Saint Paul EcoDistrict with 100 Central High School Students. The tour included solar PV and heat recovery at the Science Museum; solar PV, electric vehicle charging, waste reduction, and solar thermal hot water at the River Centre; and the District Energy biomass combined heat and power plant. What a day!
This garage suite in Calgary, Alberta gets enough heat and hot water from solar thermal collectors and power from solar PV modules to reach net-positive status. The garage suite actually exports surplus heat and electricity to the main home.
