3. Has anyone ever considered setting up a mini drainback solar hydronic system on the roof to preheat the water for the hot water heater? I would be pretty simple to set up with some black tubing on the roof, and it would run on sunny days. When you came back from hiking, maybe the water in the hot tank would be 120F, so you wouldn't need to fire up the furnace.
Just want to point out that this would be an additional item that would need to be winterized along with any other radiant heating you would consider. So if you do move forward, design into it ease of winterizing... something like sprinkler blow out ports or ???
