    Shower head and controls are hung on the same 4x4 you see in the pic. The hot water pipe comes off the roof and splits to the sink and to the shower in the pic. The slate tile was left over from some home projects.

      1800 watts of solar, that is way more then I've got. How many amp hours of battery do you have. The hot water sounds great to. Beats the heck out of shower heads poking out the bottom of a wing fuel pod painted black.

        A little over 1,800 watts solar on this building, another 3,150 in other arrays. Usually run 28 Trojan L16's in the battery bank, but currently just at 24 batteries in process of changing some out.

        Used the solar shower about an hour after the sun went down past the horizon last night. Still warm but not scalding like mid day. More than comfortable.

          Rainwater setup for this building. Tying in gutters from both sides of the building to a 120 gallon storage tank.

          Options for this water source are the gardens and orchards via tying into the irrigation lines to them, also possible to use right there with the shower, handwashing, etc.

          A 12volt battery sits in the rafters to run the ATV winch and lightbar (for deer processing) that could be used to run a pressure pump to provide pressure to the water.
