I like the On Demand water heaters. Debating a bit on Propane vs Electric
Plan is to go with two electric units for the house, 1 in the main bath and 1 for kitchen and laundry. Going with 2 since there is a 30 ft span between the two areas and that buying 2 smaller ones is less expensive here.
I like that the electric units are less expensive to buy, don't need to run more gas line, less expensive to install, don't need to put in a vent system.
From what I have read, the electric is about 95% efficient and the propane is about 80%...need to confirm this.
In summary the Electric is lower cost to purchase as a unit, lower cost to install, no vent, higher efficiency.
...any thoughts about going electric over propane?

Not sure about the solar aspect. I need to look into that down the road. Right now Propane has been a pretty steady price and so has electric...I am doing the Cost Benefit analysis at this point...I am surprised that electric is wining by a big margin.
I did tell my wife that the on-demand system automatically shuts down after 40 gallons so it doesn't over heat. She is too smart to believe that
