There are 3 main types of electrified water heating, resistance electric water heaters which many homes already have, heat pump water heaters, and solar water heaters. For most small homes, a resistance electric water heater will be the best option, and for big homes a heat pump water heater. It's important to get a water heater with a large tank, so your solar can be used to heat up the water during the day and keep it hot.
Australian solar is the cheapest source of delivered home energy in the world. It's the Australian rooftop solar miracle. The more things you can power with solar, the more you'll save on energy bills.
The best way to run your home - for your wallet and for the climate - is to have all electric appliances and cars powered by clean electricity.

Your switchboard upgrade (if you need one) is a neccesary part of your home becoming all electric and zero emissions. The savings you get from being all electric should easily pay for your switchboard over time, so keep that in mind.
