Passive Solar System

Passive Solar System catches sunlight and converts it into low temperature heat or water. With no machines necessary. The role of the insulation is to keep warm air in and block out the cold air.

Benefits:
1. No negative impacts on the environment- It is a completely clean energy source that lowers the greenhouse gas levels in the ozone layer.
2. No equipment is needed to buy or maintain- Machines such as cooling and heating systems are not needed. No fears of machines breaking down or needing maintenance. 
3. Money saving- Can decrease monthly energy payments by 13.8% but proper insulation can decrease payments by 46.8%.
4. Saves fossil fuels- Because no fossil fuels are necessary to operate the passive solar system we are conserving them.
