Roof mounted solar water heating system

Has anyone installed a roof mounted solar water heating system? If so, where can I buy one

I don't think those exist for the RV industry. We have solar hot water heaters at our home but I just don't see how they would work for a RV. You'd need a decent sized tank, a pump to circulate the transfer fluid from the roof into the tank.
