    Solar thermal is a nightmare to hook up. Fine for warm environments. Years ago it was stated if PV dropped below $1.50 a watt resistance heating would be cost effective. PV will be the way in the future. I heat all my water with excess PV not used in my off grid needs. You can't imagine how much power is just wasted by off grid PV systems. With supplemental PV water heating 100% of the potential energy is used making payback far greater than HPWH in low use situations. I build these systems now because the world has yet to understand PV water heating. The controllers available now are too expensive as the demand is so low. No reason these can't be in the cost range of charge controllers.
