your windows got sun shine on it from 8 to 6pm? if not you can save the money. usually solar panel is installed on the rooftop to get the maximum lighting.

Don't waste time on solar. Cost is very high. You need solar panel, regulator, inverter and battery(for storing). Will set you back easily few k plus. On top of that, you have to maintain the battery water and perhaps replace it every few years.
Buy solar heater for bathing is more practical.

It's at extreme left 1st row near OTF I think. The husband & wife shop.
Anyway if the cost is high, may not consider fixing it
