Another thing I am now toying with is a "mini" system in my laundry room.

The solar water tank is quite large - 24" diameter (plus boiler drain and to and from solar panel connectors, which are on the side) and 5 feet tall, and about 400 lbs.

I will nearly have to remodel my laundry room to fit it in there. And I this point, I don't even know if everything will work. I've never built a solar setup before!

I was thinking about maybe installing some sort of small tank first. Just a couple gallons. Maybe I could even find an old 5 gallon electric water heater to use. Just something that I could get in there and test with - make sure everything works right, and if it doesn't, still have room to fix things, move them around etc.

Once that BIG tank goes in the laundry room, it ain't comin' out!
