Mechanical Mini-Series: Solar Hot Water

Two 4’x8′ solar hot water flat plates have been installed on the lower, south-facing roof of the Ellis Residence. These two panels will collect heat from the rays of the sun to help supplement the domestic hot water supply throughout the year. The Seattle area has some beautiful, sun shiny summer months, and during that time the solar hot water panels will supply all that is needed for the domestic hot water.
