Solar pioneer Harold Hay keeps faith in Skytherm legacy
Harold Hay, 98, markets a passive roof pond heating and cooling system he developed four decades ago. He aimed to revolutionize homes with Sun powered climate control, funding research and dispatching critiques to energy groups while awaiting broader adoption. His Skytherm concept uses water-filled roof panels and a motor driven cover to regulate heat, praised by supporters as ahead of its time despite limited industry traction.
