Default Solar water heating system value

Also, some dishwashers can be just a hot fill. This saves on electricity to
heat up (electricity is ~4 times more per kW than gas), but it uses hot
water for the rinse cycles. Even so it is still cheaper overall using the
hot only fill.


And it is even cheaper to use hot fill if the water has been heated
"free" by a solar panel.
