Sandybay 1 Posted Tuesday at 17:59 Hi, Just finishing off my Nissen Hut, have sink with cold water, was wondering if it would be possible to have a solar thermal system providing hot water when possible for washing hands etc, Is this possible, what sort of storage tank / system, would be required? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ferdinand 1,913 Posted Tuesday at 19:35 (edited) I would think you could either roll your own, or buy something off the shelf designed for a boat or caravan. But I would expect that solar PV would be less buggeration-ful over time. Ferdinand Edited Tuesday at 19:39 by Ferdinand Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteamyTea 1,111 Posted Tuesday at 20:01 PV is the easier and probably cheaper option. Could even charge a battery and run your lights off it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamieled 92 Posted Tuesday at 20:23 There are 12v immersion heaters you can use with small p.v. setups. Haven't tried it myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
