I like the closed loop aspect of your hot water system. It would be a good way for others, wanting solar heated water, without the loop hot water system to make one.
It seems to me that with the closed loop you will get excellent circulation.
You could use a large magnifying glass or mirrors to direct even more heat onto the copper coils.
