I have a solar hot water system. It can get as hot as 180 in the tank, and is mixed down to 120. Sometimes when the sun is not out that can drop down to as low as 80, but still usually warmer than just the catchment temp. Plumbed inline after that is a Paloma. That allows me to heat the water up an additional 40 degrees or so. This system allows me to use solar heated water when it is available, and superheat the water when I need to. It also results in using the smallest amount of propane to provide hot water 100% of the time.
