Yeah, that seems like a good way to go. 65 degrees at ground level is what I’d also expect. My assumption up top would be close to 90/95 degrees. Driving the pump more often would be interesting.

Could you send it over? Seems good to check it out. I’ll be on the lookout for a more powerful transformer in the meantime. I also went out and bought a more reputable SSR still rated at 40 amps.
Hmm, the heater element being controller disregarding your will is a bit of a bummer.
Thanks for clarifying, so you are indeed circulating the water itself, it’s not a separate line used as a heater. In this case you really are at the mercy of either your pump, pipe length, ambient temperature, insulation and/or sun intensity.
Have you monitored the temperature at the panel on the roof itself? Also, what type of insulation are you running on those pipes?
Hmm, maybe I should have clarified. You would be correct if I was talking about doubling the overall power. I meant simply adding another turn to my secondary coils so as to raise the voltage and lower the amps a bit or to connect the 2 transformers in series.
Caps seem like a decent idea actually. The house is rated for something north of 40 amps so I should be fine for a ms load.
OK this is interesting, but also differs. If I have read correctly, you’re circulating the water in the system as a whole.
I’m also using a solar setup, but I’m using a serpentine coil running a separate coolant liquid. The coolant is used since winter goes from -10 to minimim -20 degrees celsius.
What are your coldest months like?
No, thank you for making me get out of bed to set it up on my server.
The mobile app is so much better. Plex works better on LG WebOS, but I’d say it’s on equal footing on Google TV.
Tailscale also seemed to work perfectly fine for remote access.
