Used with permission: Solar Today, Nov/Dec 2008. As utility expenses spiral ever higher. wouldn't we all like to draw on the sun to heat our household water? The average 40-square-foot (3. 7-square-meter) solar collector system provides 38 gallons (144 liters) of hot water daily, about 60 percent of the daily water needs for a family of four. Virtual1y every U.S. location has adequate sun for solar water heating. These systems also benefit from what I like to call the Four E's: They save energy, create local employment, reduce environmental damage and empower energy security - al1 necessary for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. More than half of your hot-water cost is fixed using solar energy and will not rise with electric, natural gas or heating oil prices. Solar energy is not taxed, and by using less natural gas to heat water, we reduce demand for and hence the price of natural gas. The first cost of a solar heating system may be higher than that of a conventional system, but in the long run solar wins for our society, the U.S. economy and your pocketbook.

| Guidelines for Solar Domestic Hot Water Systems "Guidelines for Solar Domestic Hot Water (DHW) Systems in One- and Two-Family Dwellings", Franklin Research Center, Philadelphia, PA., U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, HUD-PR-407, April, 1979, @U.S. Government Printing Office:1979 626-716/1659. Note: This report is old, but contains the procedures for solar system sighting, roof mounting, roof penetrations and general installation instructions. The system descriptions are dated, but the materials of construction and roof mounting practices are still in use for current structures and systems. We recommend reading the guidelines for system sighting, roof mounting and roof penetrations as a minimum. The rest is very informative on heat transfer fluids and system flushing and filling. We were unsuccessful in getting a new paper or electronic version of this report from the U.S. Government Printing Office, so the PDF downloadable here is a scanned version of the paper copy of the report we had in our files.
