Programs 4) Research, development and manufacturing 3) Youth Training 2) Solar Contracting 1) Solar Assistance

Solar Assistance

Fuel Poverty A lack of financial resources that requires families or individuals to choose between heat and other basic necessities.

Energy Assistance in Minnesota: $75 million each year! Does Energy Assistance offer a long-term solution? 125,000 Families Served 250,000 families apply Average allotment: $536

Fuel Poverty Heating Costs Energy Assistance Funding # of Families in Need CRISIS!

SOLUTION!

Types of Solar Heat ActivePassive Air Thermosiphon Hot Water Solar Forced Air Water Passive Home Design Thermosiphon Air Heater Closed Loop Antifreeze Drainback

Typical Solar Assistance System Performance 3 Collectors (96 Square Feet) 9 Million Btus per heating season $4500 installed cost
