Aloha Nancy, HADave and All,
Putting the pre-heater before storing the hot water in the storage tank would still allow the heat to dissapate from the storage tank. If the pre-heater is put before the end use there won't be any heat loss from storage. Basically, that would be an instantaneous (or "tankless" water heater backed up by stored hot water from your solar panels.
A hui hou,
Cathy
