I think that's just what it is in Greece: you buy a package with a
collector and plumbing all connected up and stick it on your (flat) roof.
Cheap as chips over there and AFAIK not a gov't subsidy in sight.


The Israelis have these as well . It makes the skyline of Tel Aviv
really picturesque.

The packages cost about $300. Very basic. No insulation and a
header tank out on the roof as well.
