[External email - use caution]
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.
