In this video I decided to make a solar heating panel with design features that will be compatible with sky cooling later on. Solar heating is a very efficient method of using solar energy, with the ability to absorb 900-1000w/m2 of heat from sunlight, compared to only 200-300w/m2 of electricity that could be generated from a similarly sized standard solar panel.

Here are a few links to solar fan kits that can be used to complete this project (these are affiliate links):
