When we got our solar hot water system the cost was about $5000ish however after rebates and tax credits the net cost was about $1700. We've had it long enough that we are past the pay back time so now all our hot water is effectively free. Drainpipe can give you a free estimate including what your estimated net cost will be after available rebates and credits. We love our solar hot water system. After Iselle the free hot water was nice because the generator we had at the time wasn't able to be hooked up to a 220v circuit.
