Thanks for the reply.   We are located in Newland, NC about 3,600 ft in the mountains of western North Carolina.  Heating about 3,500 sq ft of home. The boiler is a central CL-5036 holds 196 gallons of water, 74 sq ft heat transfer area.   I am using a mixture of about 50/50 water and glycol. The wood boiler is used to heat the home in winter. I have two heat pumps (one for downstairs, one upstairs) that I have put radiators in the ductwork and using the blowers on the heatpumps to forced air. Also use the wood boiler for hot water.   Thanks again for any information. I know there is a couple of different types solar panels. The solar tube and the thermal panel. Any advise would be appreciated.   Bo Sluder
