I have often thought about preheating water with solar heat, especially in the summer. I have a Southe facing brick wall on the side of my garage that, I think, would be a great thermal mass to draw from. Where did you get information on this type of setup? I am in suburban Philadelphia, so I am not sure if this would work in the winter, since I am simply thinking about putting something similar to a car radiator against this brick wall, and running the incoming water line to it and then to my hot water heater. I guess I wopuld have to create a bypass for the winter months. Anyway, good luck!
