On Saturday I went to Significant Elements. I was looking for storm windows that will be used as the panels of my Solar collector. Significant Elements has a very large collection of storm windows of all different styles, sizes, colors, and qualities, so it took me about an hour to find the storm windows I wanted. It was a very lucky find. There were three of the same exact storm window. The length of all three put together came very close to the maximum length available along the wall of my mudroom (the room the solar panel is going on). The height was just under the height of the existing space between the mudroom windows and the ground. This means the panels should fit perfectly along the wall and under the existing mudroom windows.

The only problem with the panels was that they were very expensive. Luckily the manager of Significant Elements was awesome, though. She let me have them for $12 each instead of the original $23 if I agreed to give her a picture of my solar panel when it is finished. She can use that for advertising.


This is a sketch of the back of my mudroom.
