What does afternoon have to do with anything? It is most likely better in the afternoon as the water has had all day to warm whereas in the morning it has not been sunny as long. It is also not likely that he has the luxury of taking showers at off times. He works all day. Only in this country do we take multiple showers daily and not worry about the waste of resources. And only in this country do we fail to see that if we were to use alternate energy half the time then we are much better off than not ever using it.

We had a shower that was heated this way pretty far up north in Canada. The black helps because it absorbs heat more than green and it can heat water even when it is cold outside.
