Hi guys
Now is getting into spring I am reminded of the hot day cold night scenario, we are getting a lot of sun on our corrugated iron roof so I am starting to wonder how to get that heat into my storage tank.
I have 4000L of pressurized storage at about 1-2 bar.
Is it conceivable that a big solar collector could heat the water up? Can I get temps as high as 80C going in?
I was thinking maybe getting one of those pool heater kits that go on roof but maybe there is a better option.
How to you plump it in so that you get frost protection, ie you pump the water out of the collectors at night or in the snow
