Using the panels near the roof of the buildinig and a roomful of rocks in the basement, Doug Hart ex- plained that the garage was transformed into a solar heated home. Panels coilect the sunlight during the day and create heat which warms both the rock pile and the bouse in daylîght hours. At night, when heat from the sun is no longer available, the panels are shut off and the rocks which are holding heat provide warmth during the evening.

It wili take about 10 to 12 years for a solar heated home to pay for itself, Mr. Hart said and he added that the cost of instaiiing solar heat is about $5,000 to $6,000. It is still not' possible to provide 100 per cent of al heating requirements from the sun, in this area. " Most people would say that for heating homes, it (soiar energy) is not economical at the moment," said Cyril Carter, a professor at Trent University and a representa- tive of the Solar Energy Society of Canada. Heagreed that with rising energy costs, solar heating might be more economicai over the next few years. Mr. Carter warned against building solar-powered equipment without the proper information or technical heip. "If you don't know what you're doing ît's easy to spend a lot of money and not get very good results," he said. Commenting on the future of solar power and industries to deveiop this form of energy, Doug Hart said, "I guess tuiie will tell if there's room for a solar industry. I tend to think that there is." Other speakers at the high school last, week were John Currelly, who built à solar- powered grain dryer at a farm near Port Hope and Mark Finnan, who is one of the builders of a solar-heated house east of Cobourg.
