That sounds like solar industry wishful thinking....

I dunno about solar being the only option, and i am sure that full electric water heaters will always be available.

A bit hard to put solar hot water on a 37th floor apartment or a terrace house in the shade in inner city melbourne....

I disagree...I've been alive long enough to realize that prices always go up almost immiediately when a rebate is in place.

Rebates stifle competition and encourage price fixing.

Prices usually go up by the exact amount that the rebate amounts to.

Solar panels, LPG conversions, solar hot water,roof insulation...all the same.
