This drawing, courtesy of North American Dry Kiln & Energy Systems, shows how the firm hopes to incorporate solar
panels to dry lumber. The Sandy firm has received bids from two companies that are interested in the solar driers.

The solar panels would be used as
the roofing on a southern exposure of

In drying by condensation the
timber is placed in a hermetic room

There are 15 bids currently out on
