Abstract
A solar hot water generating system is disclosed which comprises a vertically pivotable heat exchanger automatically pivotable by means of a timer-actuated electric motor. The heat exchanger is fluidly connected to an insulated storage tank which retains the thermal values of the heated fluid. The system is adapted to provide hot water for domestic and industrial uses, such as heating, air conditioning, and the generation of electricity by operation of a turbine.
