    How about running water through the back side of the panels to keep them cool, transfer the heat into a heat battery (sand) then us that to assist your hot water heater.

      Either that or use it for temperature differential power generation.

      Although I guess you could use the power generated by the panels to run a heat pump to boil the water used for cooling too.
