Self-Managed Solar Thermal Plant

Have you ever thought about a solar plant for reducing fuel consumption and costs for heating of your home and the impact on the climate? I hope so, but this good intention should also take into account some factors that concern, besides the cost, also maintenance and management of facilities.
This guide is intended for everybody, especially for non-professionals.
In this way I would like to help those who, like me, found themselves in trouble with the ordinary operations, despite the support of artisans and vendors. But also help those who have to decide whether and how to proceed with the project, providing useful elements of assessment for the construction of the plant.
In this way I hope to encourage the implementation and diffusion of solar plants and in general the use of energy from renewable sources.
