Depends on where you live I suppose.
I was talking with my landlord a couple weeks ago about solar water heating (surprisingly rare in Arizona being the desert and all) and he said he looked into it before but it would cost more than gas due to all the bureaucratic hurdles put in the way -- which explains the rarity I guess.
