Hope that health issue resolves quickly. I've been down that road before.

Looking forward to how this device works for you and Sunspot. I've seen how well a solar thermal works in South Florida, but this is much less complicated. I've got a segment of roof I could devote to a series of PV panels, if it works out as planned. I've already reduced the wattage of the elements in my 50 gallon water heater, to allow me to heat water on a generator if needed.
