Hi SkyKing,

My tankless water heater does whole house heating and domestic hot water.

It's propane.
Electric is nuts in New England for what we pay for juice around here.

Yeah.. show you're wife the pics and maybe she'll give ya the heave ho.

but before that see what time the sun hits your south wall and what time it's useless later in the day. I actually monitored the hours of sun to make sure I was sticking them in the right place.

If you want them to look prettier you could go with the double wall polycarbonate. It's a smooth service / no wiggle strip insulation to goof with but 'does' cost a bit more.

Good Luck!
