you have to schedule around it. The water won't be warm until the afternoon and cools off as soon as the sun is off it.
Is the tank not insulated then?
Remember, too, that this will be used as a pre-heater for the gas-fired heater, so we won't ever be without hot water, we'll [hopefully] be using a lot less propane to heat it.
Currently our propane bill is about 54% of our total utilities expense (gas-water-sewer-electric-telephone-taxes), and while that total is under $100/month, the gas bill is the logical place to start.
