Notes[edit | edit source]
Note that any radiators -which you may wish to scrap when discarding your central heating system- can be reused for making a DIY solar thermal collector..[1] This involves putting it so that one inlet is at the top (at an angle) and the other is at the bottom, painting the radiator black, placing it in a wooden box with glass lid and connecting it to a water heater with tap.
