Hello Dexxy.

It depends on what your current hot water setup is and how much you can/want to alter the existing plumbing.

I have a simlar collector heating a 120 gallon solar only tank via a heat exchanger which then feeds a 40 gallon electric tank that supplies hot water to our home.

You can see a slide presentation of the setup at this CNN iReport website.

Hope this helps, Art.
