A primer on building passive solar water heaters that integrate collection and storage in one package sometimes called batch heaters. We like this one in particular because it has its own built in overheating protection. Building your own solar thermal panel for heating water is simple. Making your own solar water heater is cheap and easy.

In this blog we will show you how to build your own solar water heater.
