Is there a heater that runs on solar power?
What is a solar air heater? Solar air heaters are a little different than traditional space heaters. Instead of using natural gas, propane, or electricity to produce heat, they use thermal energy. This is done through the use of solar collectors.
Are Solar air heaters worth it?
The return on investment (ROI) for a solar air heater is relatively short. Your energy savings will equal the cost to buy (or make) and install the system in 5 to 7 years if you use electricity or wood to heat your home; it’ll take 6 to 15 years to pay for itself if you heat with gas [source: Darling, altE].
