Many states in the US provide tax breaks for adding insulation to your home, and will give subsidies for solar installations. In Oregon, the cost of a solar-powered water heater is $6K, but with rebates and tax breaks, that cost is quickly whittled down to $1500, and the state does have a loan program to offset the initial capital outlay. Both solar water heaters and heat will increase value of a house. The federal government also offers a tax break for the purchase of a hybrid.
And there's no payback?
