Americans are afraid of the "third-world look" of solar water heaters they know from vacations in Europe

I don't think this is true? Also for what it's worth I've spent time on the roofs of a lot of apartment buildings in the bay area and seen many solar water heaters. Newer buildings and homes tend to just have solar panels if anything, though.

I guess I'm not privileged to have seen that and would mind a setup on my house. I'm in AZ
