We have three big solar water heating panels we found at the transfer station which we just haven't bothered to install yet. Haven't a clue why someone would throw something like that out, but we don't ask, we just drag them home. One of these days we will get around to putting them in, probably the next time propane prices go up.
I really like the on demand water heater. We never run out of hot water as long as there is propane. Oh, when using an "on demand" water heater, you have to demand hot water or it won't turn on. Just cracking open the hot water a little bit doesn't always work although some models are better than others. We have the Bosch unit now with a piezo electric starter and it is much more sensitive to hot water demand than the Paloma was.
Tax credits are only good if you have a taxable income to deduct them from. Not spending money in the first place is just as good (IMHO) as getting it back later.
