I live in the Philippines with wall to wall sunshine. I have a PV system so household electric is covered. However, I want to make a Solar hot water system. I’ll give the general idea here, appreciate comments for improvement and if I’ve got it right.
On the roof I will have a 500L water tank, 2ft high x 3ft wide. Attached to it will be a coil of black water pipe. One end of the pipe will connect to the top of the tank and one to the bottom.
My theory is I would need a pump to circulate it as the cold water pressure at the bottom and the hot water will naturally rise, giving some kind of circulation.
Does that seem reasonable?
Also inlet and outlet of course.
Thanks.
