well as spring is around the corner,its got me thinking about my solar panel idea....never got to it last year....anyway here's the idea. when im done burning wood for the season,in middle or end of april i would use solar to heat water. the panel will be 4x8.using 2x6box,insulated 2''foam panel bottom,on top will be approx 75' of 5/8 copper tubing with alum absortion strips bonded to copper.all painted black under glass panels, panel will be mounted on roof of furnace positioned to face sun..etc using a small taco 007 circulator to circ water in a loop from tank to panel and return also using temp gauges to monitor temp in /out of panel with ball valve controlling flo rate. maybe some fancy temp switch to turn on circ when panel temp reaches temp? any thoughts ? any experts on the matter?
