Could you integrate a heat pump or solar tank pre-heater to this system and calculate how much it saves on gas? especially if you have on-demand pricing for electricity. it would be interesting to see it dynamically optimize depending on the price per BTU or some other metric.

Yes, there are hybrid heat pumps that can work with gas boilers. Such system can help to reduce gas usage by up to 70%. I am considering it :)
