A Solar hot water system differs from other conventional heating systems in that it can be considered an investment. This is because it uses sunlight as fuel. Although the initial cost seems expensive, these systems start to actually pay for themselves from the moment they are first turned on. They will keep on paying you back every day that the sun rises, for many years to come.

Please consider the following:

Rising cost of energy:

The cost of a barrell of oil in 2000 - $14 in 2010 - $78

Stagnant investment potfolios:

The Dow Jones Average in 2000 - 11,000 in 2010 -10,000

This means that if you had invested money in the stock market back in the year 2000 then chances are that over ten years this money never grew at all. Instead, had the money been invested in a solar hot water system, then you would have enjoyed a 5 to 15% return on your investment in each of those ten years. It's not difficult to see why this is a rapidly expanding industry!
