Passive Heat
Passive Solar Hot Water has many forms. The box styles that the video uses is a good use of recycling old materials. There are other ways to re-use an old water heater but this one is good for re-use based on original purpose.
Other forms are siphoning, flat plate and collector. There really isn't a specific design for any of these. YES, I "made" up those names but it is only based on what I have seen or personally used.
The basic concepts for this type of solar use are; heat rises, cold sinks; black absorbs heat, light colors reflect heat.
That is the basic concept behind Passive solar energy and are methods you should look at when wanting to apply solar energy to heating water.

Home Solar Power Systems: Understanding The Economics

Are home solar power systems a good investment?



You should consider the following: Solar Energy Tax credits, Solar Power rebates, Net Metering (selling back excess solar power to the utility and getting credit on your electricity bill), Solar Energy Grants, Specialized installation costs and Maintenance



Take all these into account when calculating the installed cost of home solar power systems. The more efficient it is, the less power you will need and the smaller the home solar energy system you will need. You will have to balance the capital cost of making your home more energy efficient with the saving you can achieve by reducing the size of your home solar power system. Keeping your projected savings on your utility bills in mind, how long will it take you to recover the cost of the home solar power system?
