653838 2008-04-02 01:09:00 Its more of an idea, there is alot of roof space just sitting there, why not try and harness it somehow?

But Ive given up on the idea as the cost is too far out of my pocket for the time being. I would rather save for awhile.

Methinks R2's reply has gone right over your head. :lol:

653840 2008-04-02 04:17:00 It would seem therfore to make economic sense to, via a subsidy install all of NZ over a period with said units.
If one were to save 20% of national capacity ,this would save a power station or two.

Not necessarily, as the peak demands will be largely unaltered. Most electric hot water systems are on ripple control so are not part of the peak load, which in turn defines the generation capacity.

It's all a question of arithmatic,so lets do the sums and get on with it,or not.
To many variables for me so we need someone who can add up.
