Fixing up a free solar hot water panel

Hey guys,

A while back, I got a solar hot water panel for free from my cousin. These were panels from the '70's that looked like they were never hooked up right.

He eventually CUT them off his house, and stacked them behind the garage, to eventually take in for scrap metal. I offered to take them off his hands.

I only had space to take one with me at the time. The idea was to figure out what would need to be done to fix up this panel - then eventually do that to all ten of them.

So, since my buddy Tim is also interested in DIY solar, we headed over to his house to fix this one up.

Here is a video of what we did.

-Ben
