This is what the house looks like with the glazing removed and a few test holes drilled.


We will not be pursuing this experimental plastic hot water solar panel design project anyway. It has been replaced by better projects. So we will be removing these panels and finishing those walls in a different way. Meanwhile, removing the glazing reduced the temperatures by about 100 degrees.

Our next move is to repair the damaged sips by re-enforcing them and filling them with closed cell foam for strength and insulation. Some of sips behind solar panels are slightly damaged; some of the foam no longer firmly stuck to the outer OSB. Those panels will have small holes drilled in the outer OSB and the proper glue injected to fill the little gaps.
