Also, keep in mind that solar panels should also have tracking... just like equatorial telescope!
But they don't.
So the generated peak power will be ONLY at noon, twice a year (during a month or two), and for couple of hours per day. The rest of the time the system works with reduced power ( cos(phi) !!) or none (when cloudy and during night hours).
If you ask me, the whole solar power generator issue is just a political statement, no more... but very expensive one. Personally, I can't afford it.
Much better (cheaper) idea is to pre-heat the water with blackened hose thrown on the roof, before it goes into your Rheem boiler.
