Hi all
I am planning on doing a complete kitchen overhaul sometime next year. I told the wife that the next project will have to be the geyser to try and save money with electricity.
2 of my friends installed gas geysers at their homes and are very happy with the savings and convenience of hot water on demand.
I had long hours thinking over the 2 options mentioned in the subject and here are my concerns below:

Solar is only as good as long as there is sunlight. We use geysers too late in the afternoon to benefit us. Maybe if I increase the tank size to 200L it might have a better effect. Some inputs would be appreciated.

Gas is relatively cheap but for how long into the future.
I read and heard the gas powered geysers needs to be maintained which involves cleaning the tubes, etc

What are your thoughts and experiences?
