Solar Thermal Workshop Fairbanks, Alaska August 8th 2009

Fairbanks is also called the "Golden Heart City,". If you get the chance to visit or live here, you will quickly discover why the city has earned that name. The people in Fairbanks are known for their generosity of spirit, their friendliness and their hospitality. Our city is vibrant with business and trade, outdoor and sports activities, and a dynamic arts community.

The climate in Fairbanks is subarctic and the area sees snow from November through March. In the winter, temperatures in the area average 8°F to -19°F and in the summer temperatures hover in the 70s and 80s. In the Interior area of Fairbanks, where Denali National Park is located, experiences some of the most extreme and variable weather in the world. There, there are rapid temperature swings, thunderstorms with hail and lightning, and even summertime snow. These conditions create a enviroment in which sustainable and renewable alternatives to fossil fuels must exist in order to affordably provide for space and water heating needs we depend so greatly on in harsh climates.

There are a variety of exceptional solar hot water heating products available from SunMaxx Solar which will provide you with free hot water and decrease your dependance on fossil fuels. Two such products are the SunMaxx TS20 and the SunMaxx TS30, thermosyphon systems which do not require electronics or pumps.
