Solar Thermal Workshop Albuquerque, New Mexico May 20th, 2009

Th weather in Albuquerque is perfect for outdoor activities such as skiing, biking, or playing on some of the country’s best golf courses. Albuquerque is also the hot air balooning capital of the world, and just about every morning colorful hot air ballons can be found dotting the clear blue sky. As evidence of Albuquerque's place on historic Route 66, after nightfall you will find that the city is a glow with neon signs. While you are in the area, there is always something to do: from visiting one of the casinos in the metropolitan area, to enjoying an evening of entertainment by one of the international theater and dance companies.

In the city of Albuquerque, you can experience the contrast between desert and forest all in the same vacinity since it lies one mile above sea level and has a high-desert climate. You should, however, be sure to stay hydrated while in the area and to use sunblock for protection from the sun, due to the humidity levels and the amble amount of sunshine. Year round, Albuquerque enjoys around 310 days of sunshine per year, a mild, dry climate.

Such a place is a prime candidate for solar energy installations. For example, a complete line of solar hot water products is available from SunMaxx Solar, such as the SunMaxx TS20 and the SunMaxx TS30. SunMaxx Thermosyphon systems do not require electronics or pumps but they will allow you to enjoy free hot water and they will decrease your dependance on fossil fuels.
