I built one about three years ago. Not really impressed with the one in the video. Mine uses aluminum cans as the heat sink. Fits into a window and is angled to match the winter sun angle in my area. No fan and yet it has a nice air flow and manages to raise interior air temp. by as much as fifty degrees as soon as it gets sun exposure. All made of layers of foil faced foam, construction glue, caulking, and a piece of green house corrugated acrylic. No need of trim or screws just some aluminum duct tape that has held up for years and is simple to replace if needed.
