A solar water system installer or plumber can figure it out in short order. My dad's DIY system is tied into his gas-fired water heating system, with a 2 valves which let the solar heater act as a pre-heater for his water system. The valves are open in the spring but closed in the winter. There is a drain plug on the roof mounted panels to drain the system in the winter, and an automatic air bleed valve at the highest point for the plumbing on the roof. Finally there is a system controller with a differential temperature sensor (thermostat) inputs to turn on and off a low HP recirculating water pump as needed. Most solar water systems are similar in design. Check the source for some typical designs.<br><b>References : </b><br>http://kingsolar.net/ I agree with davewilliams.
