I'm no genius on the matter - kind of learning as I go along. I have found out that many "certified" installers are not very well informed. I have a small off-grid solar system very close to Watertown - in the Town of Worth (not really any town there since mail has to go to nearby Lorraine). I'm not sure I know what you mean by the the "solar air" heater. If it's for heating your cabin or house, they are usually mounted on a south wall. Mother Earth magazine just had some plans for one. If for heating hot-water - then it's a roof mount. If you want some good starting info on solar basics - contact "Backwoods Solar Electric Systems" and get their current catalog. The catalog itself is written like a manual and is very informative. They are real nice people too. They are in Sandpoint, ID, phone # 208-263-4290. In regard to my angle - best roof pitch for our area for a fixed mount solar-electric array is 42.5 degrees pointing true south (not magnetic).
