This looks really interesting. If you are finding your T&P valve going a lot, you might want to think about piping in a large radiator with a thermostatic valve on it as a 'heat dump' to release the heat once the water tank gets up to temp. Or maybe another T&P valve? You don't want to be in a bind if your only one fails.
Or I could just add a variable speed pump and move the water faster so it doesn't get the chance to over heat.
The TandP is is working under heat not pressure as the water gets hotter in summer with solar than winter with the stove.

Thanks Walter. I thought that was what you had mentioned, but the photo looked very similar to just some copper piping put together in there. Figured I would ask instead of wonder. Thanks!
