I'd be curious how having a 50gal hot water tank supplemented with solar panels would affect
the bottom line as well.
We have a daughter that weighs just a tad over a hundred pounds. For the life of me, I can't figure
out how she can use up an entire 50gal tank of hot water taking a shower. The SAME 50gal will run our dishwasher,
my and my wifes shower with no problem. Probably do a load of laundry as well!

Deciding factor vis-a-vis tankless versus new tank would of course be
cost of your energy source...here in San Diego I replaced with gas
tank rather than tankless..as electric costs 1.5x gas and would 2x as much
to go to an electric 6 gal kitchen sink heater...
It took only about 1/2 day to replace our tank...sweating the copper fittings
took the longest (besides disposing of the old tank)...it was a very satisfying
project and not that complex...Long story short I would never replace
50 gal tank with tankless as tankless cannot keep up with family of 4
showers//we threw out one in previous house and it was only a few years
old..actually sold on CL..You would need to be handy with propane torch
and soldering copper pipes but that is easy to learn and a very satisfying
DIY skill if you do not know already...I have since put in outdoor shower
and sink for the mudroom...

David..I object to your English lesson which contributed nothing to the
tank thread and was very disrespectful to Dale's post IMHO...
I f you can't say something nice then silence is better...again IMHO
