startbeinggreennow.com This is a video that goes along with my post about my DIY thermosyphon solar hot water heater. On sunny days it heats water up to 135-140 degrees.

It is unique in its use of florescent light bulbs as a second glazing to help improve efficiency You can find the backup heater here Table of contents: 0:29 - About the location (Sun's strength etc) 2:05 - How the solar heater is made 6:11 - Hot the water tank is setup 7:29 - Electric Backup Heater 8:34 - 7500 Watt Electric Shower Head Aquecedor de Água Solar Caseira: Minha sistema de aquecimento solar é parecido com o aquecedor solar com garrafa PET. (Para saber mais: Meu é mais eficiente, e também é mais caro. Em dias que faz sol (ea temperatura ambiental é mais ou menos 30-32) aqueçaa água até 55 graus. Nos dias que não faz sol (ea temperatura ambiental é mais ou menos 21-23) aqueça ate 32 graus. Desde que eu instalei o aquecedor eu tenho ligado o chuveiro totalmente sol uma vez. Custou menos que 600 reais.
