    There are many solar companies that sell solar products. Please check the yellow pages in your telephone book for a company nearest you.

    I hope this answers your question because you did not say what you were going to use the heat for.

    Energy conservation helps out the environment a lot. It can help stop global warming. Using less gas from cars can help. The global warming caused from all of the bad gasses and pollution we are making makes the ozone layer have a big "gap". That big gap allows a lot more sun light and that can cause more skin cancer. Using less paper helps also. Use both front and back of the paper. The manufacturers use less chemicals to make the paper white, cut down less trees, and paper not used stuck in a garbage can could go in a landfill. What about all of that beautiful scenery such as the Grand Canyon. What if we put trash that we could reuse down there? That is why we need to conserve energy to help save the Earth.
