From Hawaii to Minnesota to St. Croix, solar hybrid water heating solution Sun Bandit's revolutionary approach to PV-powered solar water heating is making considerable industry waves.  It uses the same PV modules for solar electric and solar hot water solutions; they blend seamlessly for a nice aesthetic.

The PV component also makes the water heating system more versatile, which can be used on rooftops, pole mounts, awnings, carport structures for condos and more, no longer tethered by the pipes integral to traditional solar water heating solutions.  So it is utility-independent and offers a lower cost of solar market entry.--con't below.
