Everyone should be aware that Home Power's web site is in a state of constant flux. For example, the article cited below is scheduled to be removed in 2 weeks. But, we decided to go ahead and add it to our permanent collection.

Also, we will probably be changing these files over to a different server. You will be able to find this file (& others) in any case by visiting the Solar Thermal Section of the second downloads page at Home Power's web site. www.homepower.com/downloads.htm
