I thought this topic of Solar Hot Water systems and trends may also be worth revisiting. The technology is evolving and I think its time to review and discuss just what's out there today.
Two Aussie info links below more about the concept of solar hot water, but I'm sure you can contribute with info pertaining to your own country;

Solar hot water overlooked in rush to reduce pollution
WHILE federal and state governments argue over nuclear power and carbon capture and storage, one of the easiest ways of cutting greenhouse pollution is being ignored, energy experts say.
Putting a solar hot water system into a home was the equivalent of taking a small car off the road every year in greenhouse gas reduction terms, said Stephen Cranch, of Solahart.
Mr Cranch said that if solar hot water systems were installed in place of the more than 500,000 hot water systems replaced each year it would significantly reduce electricity demand.
