the water pipe sits at one third the radius and what you have is a parabolic water heater ......the water pipe is threaded thru holes you make in the end caps wit h one support block in the middle. you cover
it with glass .....or lexan .... pretty cool, when the suns shining...
the hot water on demand electric tankless hot water heaters were $228 ( smallest one) at home depot.

Wouldn't trust that rig for a second.That's asking for trouble.
If you're gonna go tankless use a liscensed plumber to install it and use an Amtrol,you'll be supporting a local plumber and a local company.
PS.justplugit any good installer would've informed that the WH should've been set up on a block.Costs more but that slab it sits on will save you huge!Same goes for the furnace!
