So we all know by now that the Department of Energy is going to be installing an absolutely massive Solar Wall on their headquarters in Washington D.C..  What some of you might not know, however, is that there are other buildings all over the world that use solar walls as we speak as a great way to cut down on power consumption, and in the process, eliminate a great deal of greenhouse gases.

I just found a pretty awesome little video to end your fantastic week this fine Friday with.  This video is of the “SolarWall, solar air heating system provided by Conserval Engineering” in Manitoba, Canada.  While it’s nowhere near as fancy, as cosmetically beautiful or as large as its soon to be built cousin in Washington D.C., the fact remains it IS a Solar Wall, and it IS doing the exact same things.  The point is, anyone, anywhere can start implementing solar technology into their lives, you don’t have to have the budget of the Government, or the design skills of a New York City Architecture Firm, you just have to fine the right products, and the right people to help you do it.

So, check out the video, then I highly suggest you head over to Northern Tool and check out our amazing line of Solar Energy products.  This is the year to turn things around, and what better way to start than cutting down your home energy costs AND saving the environment at the same time.  Start now!
