Frank;
I made the assumption you are on a city type pressurized water
system, therefore no need to lift to roof. If your not, I see the
dilemma. Pretty hard to do without some type of pump.

Frank,
How about just using black hose running in a back and forth
direction from the bottom of your roof to its apex, with a
temperature sensitive valve at the apex point, and a black hose,
from the apex, running down the sunny side of your house into the
hot water container in your basement. When the water at the apex of
your roof attains a pre-selected temperature the valve opens and
lets waterenter the system from the low point of your roof pushing
the water into the container in the basement, until the temperature
at the apex lowers to a predetermined temperature and shuts off. Repeat.

Thanks Bob. The problem is that cold water must then be lifted to
the roof from the basement. It takes lift to get it to go up.
