vijaya…it is question of insulation…good insulated barrel would create no loss in heat for more than 24 hours.

Why does the black pipe need to be elevated? I have seen pipe put directly on metal laminate roofs. Would that work just as well, and do away with the need for insulation on the bottom?

This is in-fact spelling mistake, its should have been 70 USD ( Dollar), The cost of the entire installation in local currency converted into dollar while it was assembled in Kathmandu, Nepal. One USD that time was around 70 Nrs.
