King Energy Systems Hot Water Solar Panels - Advice, please

[Hale1925]

We have two King Energy Systems Hot Water Solar Panels Model Sunflow 600-RD.
These date back to the 1970's.
3 photos are attached. The transparent cover panels are no longer present because they disintegrated.
The aluminum sheet reflectors are stored in a safe place indoors: are in good condition. The reflectors are not shown in the photos.
Located in Los Altos, CA 94024.
We are no longer using these. Are they of interest to anyone? For spare parts, perhaps?

That rooftop batch style was sold in in the 80's I almost bought some. But plastic on the roof, always bothered me.

Thanks, Mike90250, for the info. These panels were on the house when we bought it in 1985. They were plumbed as a preheater in the inlet water supply to the gas hot water heater in this house.
When we put on a new roof, we had to take down the panels, at which time the transparent plastic covers disintegrated. Looks like the UV in the sunlight degraded the plastic.
For many years, up to the time of their removal, the panels worked well for us. When the sun was shining, we could feel that the copper pipe carrying water from the two panels to the gas hot water heater was nice and toasty warm.

Here in NY we have Free Cycle, offer them up on something like that. I'm sure you will get some takers. There's all ways some tinkerer's that are looking for a energy saving project.

I am looking for a replacement tank. Ours is leaking. Do you still have them? We are in Tracy, about an hour away. Thanks, Bill 209 627 6785
