Specifically taking advantage of Austin Energy's rebates? My setup is not ideal for tankless due to all the extra and rather expensive piping required. Some of these systems look to have roof-mounted tanks which would be great for me as it would free up some interior space. I saw tons of these in Israel so I'm not wary of the technology.

I had a system, with a roof mounted tank, in Hawaii, however it also used the normal electric tank as well (it was a pre-heat system).
I loved it.
It cut our electric bill a LOT (I think maybe 60%).

However, we had 4 adults living in the house.

With one person, I am not sure if it is worth it.
But still considering one.

I would love to find one that is a big pre-heat tank on the roof.
But I am not seeing this kind when I look at what is available.
