Solar Heaters

Lhasa, 2005

First time I laid eyes on one of these from a passing vehicle thought it was some kind of satellite dish. Can be found dotted around Lhasa. Heats the water, but not hot enough to boil water. A small handle underneath the dish allows the user to adjust the angle of the dish.

There are many simple ways to make use of natural energy sources to enhance our life. It is much simpler for western society to use technology to make oppertunistic use of solar energy.
An example of how to utilise solar simply and inexpensively can be found at http://doingmybit.blogspot.com
