TOD campfire: Solar Hot Water Heating

[phantom power]

In the chart above below, the low-temperature solar heating units (140 degrees F or lower) are primarily used to heat swimming pools. Medium temperature solar thermal units (140 to 180 degrees F) are primarily used for heating hot water. High temperature collectors (over 180 degrees F) are primarily used to generate electricity for the grid.

In this Campfire post, we will talk about solar thermal hot water heating--the major part of the little blue bars in the above chart. Sales of solar hot water heaters have been growing since a tax credit for home installation became available in the USA in 2006. I will share some of what I found on the Internet, and ask what your experiences have been.
