Should work great! My dad had a solar hot water heater that heated a crap load of hot water and it had a pump and it even heated his house when the sun was shinning.
Hello Graham. Thanks for the question. I haven't made much progress because of life issues and other projects, but I did just pick up a 275 gallon plastic tote that I will use to make sure my control circuit is functioning. I wish I had better progress to report.
No, it's polyiso and has the silver barrier to protect it. There is a portion of the silver sheet that ripped about the size of a cigarette and the white styrofoam at this area indeed melted. I filled the small cavity with silicon... we'll see how it does.
I don't know why I never noticed this question. Sorry I didn't get to it sooner. Yes, a pump is needed unless I am thermosyphoning which would require a holding tank which is physically higher than the absorber. The pump needs a head height equal to the highest point the liquid will travel.
Great work. I like it. But, what do you say about corossion? Bimetallic corrosion occurs when we contact two metals with different electrical potential ( copper with aluminum or other metals). Thanks.
I have an idea for one of these too I have to get busy working on. Thanks for sharing your model. What is your fins made out of? It looks like flashing
Hey Guy! Thanks for stopping by my channel. I found it at a local greenhouse supply that offered reasonable prices. It's shipped on a large cargo ship from Isreal or something so it's possible for me to get almost any length I need up to something like 30 ft! Please sub to my channel! :)

I don't see any update on this....how hot did the water get? how much 140 degree water can you pump per hour?can you get more than a gallon per hour?
Mike Read sorry Mike I never used it. I may use it in the very near future to heat a floor though.
