A system for the efficient control and transfer of energy from a multiplicity of different sources, such as the sun and fossil fuels, using a heat exchanger and various storage units. When solar energy is available, it is transformed and used or stored. When it is insufficient, fossil fuel is used to operate a boiler heat exchanger and meet system requirements.
