Solar oven design.

You can really cook with a solar oven and they can be made from scrap material for free!

Solar ovens can be used for many other things besides baking food. One possible use I’ve been thinking of lately is hot water heating. Circulate water through the oven and then into an insulated storage tank or cistern. The stored heated water can then be tapped into to supplement your hot water heater. It could also be circulated through a radiant heating system for heating the home.

This stored excess heat could also be used for cooling a home during the warmer months. A space could be made that would build up a pocket of warm air.  Warm air rises, so allow it to exhaust to the outside. A one way vent built into the heated space will cause a draft pulling cooler air on the shaded side of the house through the living space.
