Sunrise Ranch Shop Solar Heating Project

In the late fall of 1999, the Sunrise Maintenance Team set to work on a project to heat the Shop with the Sun. The project had been brewing in my mind for 3 years, and all the details were in place. With a little bit of a break in the pattern we set off with the project. We now have a system in place that produces grapes in the summer, and lowers our heating bill for the building by 95% as well.
