PV panels are so cheap now and the convection hot water systems are expensive and at least when the hot water is hot you can then feed the grid with the excess PV panels output.

Works for me....
We are not going solar - as in panels to create power.

We have a 2br unit at the moment and have people staying over all the time yet our power consumption is miserly between myself and my wife. Less than what a single person in a studio would use according to the averages on the bill.
