Solar Thermal Workshop Las Vegas Nevada, March 9th 2009
Specific location and time TBA.
Las Vegas started as a stopover on the pioneer trails to the west, and became a popular railroad town in the early 1900s. Now it is world hub of tourism and gaming. The city is located in an arid basin surrounded by mountains varying in color from pink to rust to gray. Las Vegas' climate is an arid desert climate, which is perfectly suited for solar-hot water and solar electric technologies.
The city has experienced a surge of new green building acitivities. MGM's 76-acre CityCenter project under construction on the Strip is expected to attain, at minimum, the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED Silver certification, meaning it will showcase user-friendly and high tech designs and effecient resource usage.
SunMaxx Solar offers many solar hot water products, including the SunMaxx TS20 and the SunMaxx TS30. These thermosyphon systems require no pumps or electronics to operate. Install one of these systems for your home, facing the system towards the Navada sun, to reduce your dependance on fossil fuels while enjoying free hot water.

Operational Basics of a Solar Thermosyphon System:
Through the process of natural convection, hot water rises and cold water sinks. This process is key in terms of the operation of a Thermosyphon System. Cold water sinks from the storage tank at the top of the unit into the evacuated tubes. In the tubes, this cold water is heated, rising back up into the storage tank as it increases in temperature. Throughout the day, all of the cold water within the Thermpsyphon System will be heated in this way.

To learn more and sign up for Silicon Solar Seminars, use the following links:
Silicon Solar offers a number of seminars throughout the year to assist homeowners, small business owners, and renewable energy dealers and installers in learning basic and advanced concepts and techniques for Solar Electric (PV) Systems, Solar Thermal (Hot Water and Hot Air) Systems and Wind Energy Systems.
These seminars and workshops are designed to help newcomers to the renewable energy field get a basic, or advanced understanding of the different renewable energy options that are available and how these different systems can be applied at home or around the office to save hundreds or even thousands of dollars a year in energy costs. These seminars also help renewable energy dealers and installers stay up to date on the latest renewable energy equipment, news, industry trends and sales techniques.
Silicon Solar Seminars are beneficial for anyone interested in renewable energy, regardless of their starting Solar Technologies knowledge level. Even those who have only heard the words solar energy, wind energy, or solar hot water will leave our seminars with an understanding of how renewable energy will help them save money, how these same systems can help save the environment, and what renewable energy options are available and affordable on any budget.
