| Introduction:
Limited resources and
high prices of fossil-based fuels have encouraged people
to use solar energy as a heat source for homes. In order
to use solar energy for heating homes we need to have
methods to collect the heat in sunny hours, store the
heat in some form, transfer the heat to the home at
night or during cloudy hours.
Solar heated homes also need to be energy efficient, so
they can maintain heat for as many hours as possible.
