Back to the Sixties

Back in the day when I first had thoughts of building a house, solar was on my mind. In Washington, winter is when you need the solar, Colorado would have been good, the gray sky just don't work for you.

So I built my first circle,using 200 ft of tubing, and another 1000 ft on the hill (see the background) we managed to get a four degree surface temperature rise today.

@nikkers I found Colorado to be similar to Aridzona, but 3000 ft higher.

However, we are getting a 30F gain in water temperature with this arrangement.
