Yup.

Just and update of the performance. We've had a few nice sunny days with minimal clouds. The highest its gotten is 114F. The tank returns to about mid 60's to 70F after about a day or two since we have pretty high hot water usage.

I've been somewhat disappointed with the performance when the sun is so high in the sky. I must say the absorbers in the panel are very effective at cooling the panel. I had some scrap galvanized metal roofing laying around, so I'm working on turning them into simple reflectors in front of the panels. It should be simple to remove them if necessary.
