"I created Heat My Home in 2004 because the early solar heating industry was a wild west environment. Determined to help pioneering solar adopters, I showcased better technology while promoting more reputable installers. In 2010, I was commended for my independent contributions by the Renewable Energy Consumer Code, and delighted to report that I inspired 35,131 new installations at a time before solar panels became cool."
Future forecasting is involved when choosing to install solar panels. Preparing for weather is what solar panel adopters do.
