Solar Hot Water Panels at AET Factory in Jacksonville, Florida

I visited AET (Advanced Energy Technologies) by Jacksonville, Florida recently. I had to purchase several hot water tanks for a large solar thermal project I was working on nearby.

I saw that AET had many types of solar thermal panels that I had installed before. One of these type of solar panels is called a “drainback system”. This type of solar thermal configuration involves using no electric motor, and uses the natural flow of hot water into a holding tank from the solar panel.

I edited out the shakiness, so that is why the movement of my camera may seem a little “off”.

Here is my DIY Solar and Wind book that was published on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1508454310/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1508454310&linkCode=as2&tag=erilaysyoucha-20&linkId=URNF3DPORKY4M5YR

This is a great book on Amazon that I would recommend you pick up to understand solar power (this is the 2013 edition and is great reading): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1907670289/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1907670289&linkCode=as2&tag=erilaysyoucha-20

This is the Grape Solar Panel that I am particularly fond of (many people sending me messages):
