H20 wrenches,
    I have answered this person but a whole continent is a long way to do an 
install... and to ship products.  I left it with him that if he didn't hear 
from someone local, to get back to me.

Searching for a very specific package, or someone who can advise me on 
sources.

We currently use a propane powered combo domestic hot water & hydronic house 
heat system.  Plenty of sunshine in summer, not enough sun but plenty of 
firewood in winter. Would like to preheat our domestic hot water with a wood 
stove in winter, and then switch to solar in summer.  We included plumbing to 
facilitate this when we installed the present heat system. Would need:
1) storage tank
2) wood stove with coils
3) solar panels
4) advice  and technology necessary to integrate the whole system
I'm wondering whether anyone builds a wood stove with the hot water storage 
directly above it? Would be the most efficient arrangement, and might be done 
.......attractively? Or someone who would custom build such a package?

Any advice, resources, etc. would be very appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Long range plans for hydro electric.....any good references/resources for 
info?
