I guess your house would have to be situated in almost a perfect alignment to take max advantage of the solar energy being gathered.
I got to be careful here, I'm sure someone going to take it the wrong way too... But, you need to make a trip down to Flag Hill Winery in Lee, NH. When Frank was getting ready to build his Vodka distillery, he asked me to bid on connecting his new roof to the DHW system. Not that I'm into roofing per-say, but this roof had PEX tubing integrated into the steel sheeting making it a big solar collector. I was intrigued with the project, but was already committed on another project and had to decline.

From what I hear the project was a real success and when you drive by and look at the building you'd never know its solar heat source. It’s the shed roof on the south side of the building... I hear the vodka is real good too.
