Yikes! $7500 That took my breath away.
For 2 people, does that sound like a reasonable price or should I be looking elsewhere? I really wanted it, but wow. Why is it so expensive? Anybody know about this? My roof is perfectly positioned and the location isn't difficult. Just sounds like an awful lot of money for hot water.

Have thought about making one yourself? There is a bunch of info online I will check for some links.
I can't say for sure if these systems work as I haven't made one, but they appear too.
