I'm in the process of considering a solar hot water/heating installation
to be retrofitted into the existing gas-fed water heater and forced air
heater, before the tax credits run out. Does anyone out there have any
experience with this? The system I'm considering has the following
characteristics:

	4 collectors, 32 sq ft each (this is for the Denver area)
	gravity drain, pump feed
	180 gallon water heat sink
	computer controls

The installed price is about $11,000. Does all this sound right? The
equipment manufacturer is Sunland Products of Phoenix, AZ.

If you have anything to tell me about this, e-mail it to
