We had a larger tank on our roof, but no good unless you get three solar panels which really keep the water hot all day.  A power show takes a lot of water.

We have two tanks but the shower on the top floor is very slow running, I assume it is because the tank is just above it on the roof.

If you have the older, two tank system,ie one tank for cold water one for the heated water which operates by gravity relying on the height of the tank above the shower to give pressure,you could change to the newer single tank system which operates by mains water pressure,when we changed ours
 the pressure was so good it blew the shower head  off!
All of the solar sales shops sell the newer system,scout around,ours was fitted by Engin,is he still around?

Agree completely with this post. We had same problem with pressure. Bayram changed it all over to a single tank system and also replaced the innards of the two solar panels,resulting in great pressure and more hot water. We have a ground floor apartment if that makes any difference. Anyway total cost was about £250. Well worth it   ;)
