Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Curious how much he spent on copper. Probably enough to just buy a pre assembled unit.
Because of the cost of copper, I'd go with black polyethylene pipe in a coiled arrangement. They're easy to construct, relatively cheap and still very effective. The plastic will eventually degrade but it should still get many years of service
Here's an example of a simple setup. Could be put in to a glass enclosed box also
Thank you for posting this well made video.
i see tons of work was put into this project, and have a few suggestions if you decide to build one yourself.
i do not mean to only point out the flaws, but with a large scale project like this you would want to think things out before starting.
Cool! Building a water heating solar panel can be very useful for those who wants to save money and electricity.
Neat, until it comes freezing time, then you have to be very careful.
It's a great idea to shift all electricity consuming home appliances to solar energy!
Thats a awesome video! Great Idea!
