[Phys-L] Solar Powered Direct Hot Water System



I am looking to find someone with knowledge or experience with a Direct Hot
Water (DHW) solar power heat system.

A non-photovoltaic solar power system. Solar energy is stored by direct
heating. Briefly, a glass tube with a fitting has a copper strip inside.
Solar rays warm the copper strip. A fluid is pumped through the tube to
extract the thermal energy from the copper. Below is a photo of one glass
tube.

Here is a link for more information.

I have a question for someone with direct experience with this type of
energy system.
