sunwing

A solar greenhouse, sun porch or solarium added as an extension to a building, in order to provide a space that captures heat from sunlight.

The common-wall opening was left uncovered, but the chill from the sunwing during cold nights was so noticeable that we decided to install pocket doors and insulate the remainder of the wall. Foss thus created a buffered sunwing, an addition outside the thermal envelope of the house.

Many of the hard-earned lessons of the solar home industry are being brought to bear on sunwing design.

A wing or extension designed to capture energy from sunlight.

While we still had the giant sunwings we traveled the world, exploring other continents from the air.

Slowly, on parallel tracks into the breeze, the sunwings rolled off.

A ray of sunlight.

A thousand random fragrances of morn Float from lush solitudes and leafy dells, While summer's sunwings rest on lake and tree.

A boy awakening under a plane-tree Whose bark peels every grade of green, With sunwings winking in-between?
