Thanks in advance!
I'm an engineer gone rogue - in my own time I developed a patio solar collector. The idea is it adds heat back into a borehole for ground-source (aka geothermal) heat pump systems in heating-dominated climates. The calcs say it should be able to recharge more energy than is used in winter, creating a thermal battery.
I wrote it up as a whitepaper - the idea/technology is free-to-use. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

edit: I really appreciate all the comments and goodwill! It has been a labor of love so it means a lot to hear people appreciate it.
Assuming it's a good concept then - how to get the word out to manufacturers and installers who might use it? anyone have contacts? Please feel free to share of course.
Edit 2: Thanks for the silver kind stranger! <3
