What do you think about the cover ? Someone uses polycarbonate, plexiglass ecc. , but glass should let heat go In and then AVOID looses. are polymers better ? panel heating should come from UV radiations and IR transfer of the sun. What do you think ? This will be a good business ! waste materials to heat homes .....
