this seems like it makes sense. how do you keep the dispensed water from being too hot? is there such a mechanism?

I see these a lot in commercial domestic hot water systems, a lot of them use steam or boiler loop water to heat the domestic hot water.
We don't have solar but we do have a solar energy plan from our power company, so power during solar hours is charged at 0.5x rate in trade for the solar during the duck curve hours being 2x. So we have the hot water heater set to only heat during the solar hours and A/C set to shut off during duck curve hours.
This has resulted in our electricity costs for our house being lower than the combined electricity+gas costs for the apartment we lived in before (which was much smaller).
