nukenorman Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 Thank You all so much for your responses. Now I know that it is a water heater. Everyone on that Island almost seems to have one. Never seen solar water heaters before where the big water thing is on top of the roof!! usually the solar panels just look flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a solar water heater, which is absolutely not the same as a solar panel that provides power. These are much simpler and for a much more specific purpose. Common over a lot of Mediterranean Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
