ABSTRACT:
The following invention relates generally to a solar water heater apparatus adapted for use particularly in housetrailers or mobile homes having curved roof surfaces as well as houses whose top portion also has a contour. Plural twin-storage tanks for water are disposed on these roof tops, and they are suitably dark colored to absorb the sun's radiation. Conduits and valves associated with these storage tanks allow for the transition of heated liquid within the tank to a point remote therefrom for subsequent use, and also include valve and conduit means for replenishing the water contained in the tanks. Preferably a pair of such twin-tanks are installed at the apex of curvature on a roof top, and support members co-act with each of the tanks to provide balance on the apex. The tanks are supported on insulating means, and overlying said tanks and spaced therefrom is an overlying canopy which serves to intensify, magnify, and retain the sun's thermo radiation.
