Since that time there have been signifiacnt improvements in the panel technology. Although they are now more efficient, the cost vs. savings or payback remains in question for me. The current government rebates as well as Focus On Energy rebates make it more appealing. Without the rebates though the economics are questionable in our area. Make sure you use enough panels to get the best performance possible. You will still need an electric water heater for the make-up heat in the four or five months that the solar isn't able to work at it's peak performance. We still have many choices to heat water and all I can say is "use a professional to get the best and most safe installation for your money".
