There was a nice piece on NPR about solar hot water heaters for poor
neighborhoods in Egypt a while ago:

Fathy, who taught himself English and put himself through school, has
one of Solar Cities' heaters on the roof of his four-story home. A
bright blue barrel filled with cold water is connected to solar
panels made from recycled garbage bags, framed in aluminum and
covered with glass. The aluminum frame is attached to a Styrofoam
block by an array of recycled plastic and copper tubes.
