I remember reading a book about solar hot water that said that in the 20's the vast majority of hot water in the state of Florida came not from gas or electricity, but from solar water heaters.

How far we have fallen...
He (your dad) could just use it in the summer.

I set mine up with Cut offs/ bypass for those 5~10 freezing nights we get a year. If I were him I'd just build one. I'm planning on making a pseudo DIY build build a Solar hot water heater like mine once I'm done.

I also read the bit about Solar Hot water in Florida. I saw it in the Orlando Paper Thanksgiving day, inside an article about resurgence of solar hot water in Florida.
