Solar PV versus solar thermal?

The following is an insightful article comparing solar pv (solar panels) to solar thermal (evacuated tubing) systems to heat your domestic hot water.


This and other information that I have collected is pointing me more in the direction of heating both my home and domestic hot water with solar PV, not solar thermal; its simplicity paired with a super efficient heat-pump water heater or electric-resistance water heater would foreseeably make for a less complicated, more hassle-free, higher efficiency system.
