When most people think of solar energy, they imagine using it to generate electricity, and that's where a lot of buzz and venture-capital investment dollars currently go.

Water heating is the third-largest energy expense in most households, after space heating and air conditioning, according to the Energy Department. This year, Hawaii began mandating solar water heaters in most new homes, and cold-weather locales such as New York and Colorado are among the state leaders in installations.
