Also, Hawaii passed a law in 2009 requiring new construction to add solar water to new builds. It’s been a great thing for homeowners as hot water can account for up to 40% of a families electric bill.

We moved out there into a new house in '08 and it had a solar water heater. It was the only water heater in the house so lukewarm water on cloudy days.

You do realize a solar water tank is still connected to the grid for these examples right? There’s gauges you can set so if it drops below a certain temperature the grid helps. I hope you didn’t take warm showers when it was easy to have the grid help on those few cloudy days
