I installed a new boiler at a "frat" house for lack of a better term.
The owner mentioned that someday he wanted to do solar at some time. I was also adding an indirect. I suggested an Amtrol 80 w/ a dual coil...
Someday has arrived.... I have a design from Buderus to use their panels and controls. What I am having a problem is how to incorparate the dual coil tank into the piping. Most use a seperate indirect to preheat the boiler indirect w/ the solar water....
How do I pipe the 80 into a solar set up. W/o losing eff.The design says I need about 240 gal. of storage, has 8 flat panels,12 people will be there....ty,kpc0
