Re: Solar Water Heater - should I use CPVC or Copper?
Insulate any pipe carrying hot or cold water. Then it will be more efficient.
This note from ezine about solar hot water pipes.
Pipes and Insulation- Because of the heat generated by the solar collectors, we recommend copper pipe. PVC piping, particularly near the solar collectors, will not withstand the high temperatures generated. High quality insulation surrounding the copper pipes in a solar hot water system prevents heat loss and makes the system more efficient
