Sorry it's taken me sooooo long.
I had a tree blow over on my shed and took pictures of the setup.
An old pine 20" at the base blew over and the top 20' broke over the
solar panels. I was lucky, nothing was damaged.
I bought (6) panels from a co-worker and the controller for $75 each.
My dealer (neighbor) installed the panels and controller.
My stove is setup a lot different than most on this site. It included solar
hookups when I bought it. They installed a pump ran by the controller
which pumps water into the panels when a certain difference in temperature
is noticed by probes placed on the panel.
My panels ran this past season, keeping my water at 160 degrees.
Which includes running a 70 gallon bath full and all the laundry a
wife and two kids could muster.
I've noticed it pulling heat from the panels on a 35-40 degree day this winter.
My father had the same setup when I was growing up.
