Introduction

During the seventies in New Mexico, prior to the proliferation of the PV panel, and before tax credits were introduced, there was an oil crisis.  Fuel prices were high, but sunshine was plentiful and free. Zomeworks developed a number of products that worked with sun and without pumps and motors. The reflector/shade saved fuel costs and was valuable in all seasons.  Three decades later many of these devices are still working and continue to save energy and money and don’t require tax credits.
