Yes. But not recommended.
Reserve hot and cold water lines and hot and cold water valves to the location connected to the gas water heater. Just share a hot water pipe. When using, open which and. close the other. Do this. The purpose is to prevent gas water heaters and solar water heaters from leaking water.
If it is an ordinary vacuum tube falling type solar water heater without valve, the tap water will pass through the gas water heater and the water pipe. hot water to the solar water heater, causing the The water heater is leaking. Although this will not happen if it is a pressurized solar water heater leaking water, but two water heaters will provide hot water at the same time which can make hot water unstable or unstable. even cold.
Precautions for using solar water heaters
1. Stored water must be drained regularly: The eau stored in the solar water heater should be discharged regularly to avoid pollution caused by a long time. - accumulation of water over time. The discharge cycle is determined by local water quality conditions. The rejection can be carried out in the morning because the sensor temperature is lower there.
2. Turn on the cold water first, then the hot water: If the weather is sunny for several consecutive days and no hot water is used, the water temperature will be relatively high when used. turn on the cold water first, then the hot water to avoid burns.
3. Thawing Frozen Pipes: Solar water heater pipes are often frozen in winter. If there are no cracks in the frozen pipes, there is no cause for concern. They will be able to function normally when the temperature increases. If you need to thaw a frozen pipe, do not hit the pipe, grill it over a fire, or useDo not use boiling water, otherwise the pipe may burst. You can use a towel to wrap the pipe, then slowly pour warm water or blow with a hair dryer to treat the pipe.

The two water heaters can each be connected to the hot water network. main water line through a valve.
The solar water heater is a device that uses sunlight to heat water.
A gas water heater is a gas appliance that uses gas as fuel and transfers heat to cold water circulating through a heat exchanger via combustion heating to achieve the hot water preparation purpose.
Convert both water heaters to main hot water pipe via one valve each (
2, 4
valves in the picture below ).In fact, only 2 valves are added based on separate installation.
