SOLAR HOT WATER 2011 (aka "SOL")

We decided on the Sunward System www.Sunward.com	Preping site for panels 12/11/10	Protect site from winter cold and snow
And, protect trench path	Store panels secured to porch 2/12/11	Moving SOL parts to basement storage
Conduit with tubing and electric cable was a bit heavy	Placing tank and heat exchanger	Jim (install crew) starts trench from panels to basement 2/16/11
Larry (Contractor) & Neil assemble Panel base	Drilling holes for base foundation	Finishing holes & placing sonotube
Final leveling, anchor bolts and sonotube placements	Pouring concrete. "L" anchor bolts in place thru frame foot	Frame in final position. Now let the concrete set
Placing conduit in trench. Contains insulated copper tubing and electrical cable	Next day - Placing & bolting solar panels 2/17/11	Securing upright supports
Solar HW tank & Heat Exchanger in place, connections all made, topping off the glycol	Greg makes the tie-in to the existing hot water tank 2/18/11	Inside complete
SOL panels fully at work	When the sun hits the small solar panel, the small pump in the Heat Exchanger starts & pumps the glycol thru the solar panals & back to the heat exchanger where it pre-heats our domestic hot water which then flows to our existing hot water tank as we use hot water
