they have been pushing this same stupid idiotic agenda since the 60’s (that’s when I became aware of it, anyway)

I installed a thermosyphonic solar hot water heater in San Diego in the mid-80s. It had quartz glass over the black anodized copper heat exchangers. The storage tank on the roof was heated using the thermosyphonic approach to drive circulation.

For the first couple of years, my system was a home made 4X8' collector, just circulating water from and to the hot water heater tank with a pump and a differential controller.

I drained it down each winter as it gets to 30 below zero here.

Then heated the water from a heat exchanger on our System 2000 oil fired boiler.

Then I got 2 4X8 Grumman flat plate collectors and the pump for $150.

The "professional" installer had never been able to get it to work.

In 2 days, I had it working with a new differential controller.

I made an open vented system through a heat exchanger near the hot water tank.

I use the same low toxicity propylene glycol mix as I use in my vehicles.
