is solar water heating more cost effective use of solar power over powering your house or solar thermal plants?

I was wondering is solar water heating a more cost efficient use of solar power over using large arrays to power your house or large solar thermal plants that are being contemplated all over the world.

It depends on how you do it. Passive solar is the most efficient and reliable. The more pumps, storage tanks and controllers you use the less efficient and reliable the system will be. The egyptians were successfully using passive solar 3,000 years ago and it still works the same.


Solar Panels Prices?

I am a strong believer of solar power. Why are they so expensive? I’m am not going to pay 15-30 thousand dollars for them I cant afford them. Also, Does Al Gore have solar power? How about the rest of the Hollywood and Political activists? Are the rich or wealthy doing there part in buying solar or wind? How do we bring down the cost of solar panels? As they get more popular they get more expensive.

I’m also a strong believer in solar but like you said its to expensive. Check out this company. I think you would be interested in what they have to offer.
