I don't think that would work well in Minnesota. Right now, it is a balmy -6 outside.

ha, you're probably right. the box is insulated but i don't think that puny insulation would do much at -6!!!!

my electric water heater is sitting inside a shed next to the house. If you were to do this, you can insulate the tankless and keep it out of the extreme weather. Also simplify the venting issue with natural gas powered tankless.

Plan is to rebuild the shed to accomodate a water tank for the solar and have enough space for the tankless system. I have to bug my plumber again.

My next major project for 2009. Was supposed to have done it in 2008. I hate un-necessary delays.

Smilingcat, tankless is tiny, like the watercloset for a toilet.
