Please then state your facts .. did your landlord share this with you ?

what was the cost ? ,
what amount of hot water does or did the system produce ?
how many years has it produced hot water ?

and how about some simple numbers to back-up your claim it didn't have an
economical payback ...

http://www3.sympatico.ca/hipett/ho****er.htm 3-4 year payback
http://www.solagen.com/water-heating.htm 1-3 year payback
http://www.environment.act.gov.au/Fi...temsreport.pdf 4-6
years (in AU dollars)
http://www.ecs-solar.com/solarho****er_faq.htm 3-4 year based on 600-700
year savings
http://www.solardev.com/hot-water-types.php 4-7 years
http://www.uneptie.org/energy/act/re...cs/thermal.PDF 4 - 14
years (I guess you can pay to much for anything)
http://www.sixriverssolar.com/solar_water_heating.htm 4 -8 years

Every hear of Google ?

most of the above links are a bit outdated , and if today's electric/Natural
gas prices were used , payback for a self installed system would be in the
2-3 year range. (based on a 1600.00 kit , that I having bought and installed
, replacing 600.00 year in electricity.) I bought and installed and used
this system for 2.5 years ... what are your numbers NOSPAM ?

My apt. owner put solar water heater panels on the roof more than
ten
years ago, and I don't think they've been cost effective.


SNIP AGAIN

Facts are facts. I simply stated a fact. First off, that the solar
water heater that I have experience with, and that's a *fact*. And
secondly, your followup is not easily readable, misuse of commas, etc.
Needs work. Fact.
