Anyone switched from electric cylinder to continuous flow gas hot water?

the best system is solar/electric.

What he said.
Recently stayed with a friend whom installed this system. Said he was making $1000 year off the power co's as he was at work 12 hours of the day and only really came home to have shower, and watch TV.
Usually using 0.2-0.4kwh day max. System was generating 10 times that a day.
And the best thing was when ever the grid went down his house was still go.

He said only downside was batteries - he spends about $500/year on them and cap banks.

If I owned a house I know the first thing that would go into it........

Yeah if you get solar, get way bigger pannels than you need an chuck it all to battery. We have small solar panel (hot water only) and no battery, we basically only get free hot water in the summer, in winter the electric is turned on all the time.

We have a heat pump and a 'lectric hot water cylinder - with a wet-back.

Running costs are modest.

But then most of the time there's only two of us here.
