A 500 l water accumulator tank is enough. I know, I have one.

To have the above you don't need to rob Bank of England.

Nope. So far the efficience of solar panels haven't been the best but now they
are even taking over from mountain heating, at least in this country because
it's cheaper.

In Greece every house have solar panels on the roof + a accumulator tank.
