		<title>Solar Water Heating System Freeze Protection</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Solar water heating systems, which use liquids as heat-transfer fluids, need protection from freezing in climates where temperatures fall below 42ºF (6ºC).
Don&#8217;t rely on a collector&#8217;s and the piping&#8217;s (collector loop&#8217;s) insulation to keep them from freezing. The main purpose of the insulation is to reduce heat loss and increase performance. For protecting the collector [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Solar Power Inverter: Its Purpose</title>
		<description><![CDATA[by: Anna Williams
A solar power inverter forms an important part of any home solar energy system which supplies enough electricity to get you off the grid.
The inverter converts direct current, which is produced by a solar panel, into alternating current.
There is also a charge controller, which can use excess power to charge your system&#8217;s battery, [...]]]></description>
