#1 -  Renewable Energy > RE General Discussion > Cansolair Type Soda Can Solar Heater - Hungarian Website
Anyone speak Hungarian?

http://www.freeweb.hu/napenergia/gyak/szp/sztgyi.htm

I found this Cansolair type DIY site, but it is in Hungarian.  I tried using the web to translate it, but it doesn't come out very well.

Can anyone translate this page from Hungarian to English?

Thanks for you help.

#2 -  Renewable Energy > Technical Discussion: Other > Converting a regular heat tape (gutter ice) to work off a 15W Solar Collector?
I am a solar newbie, experimenting with a Northern Industrial Tools High Wattage Solar Panel – 15 Watt.

I would like to use it to temporarily power a heat tape to clear ice from an 8-foot length of gutter.  Is there a way that I can modify a regular 8-foot, 120v heat tape and wire it directly to this panel?

The 15 watts from the panel should be enough to help clear the ice from this small section of gutter, but I need to know how to either convert a heat tape, or make one myself.

Thanks for your help.
