Yeah it does to me too. But, PV DHW is so simple. No moving parts!
(No noisy compressor either)!


Someday when we can buy PV for 50 cents a watt,

Citigroup: Solar Modules Could Fall To 25 Cents/Watt By 2020 | CleanTechnica

Top Chinese Manufacturers Will Produce Solar Panels for 42 Cents per Watt in 2015 : Greentech Media
