How about solar thermal oo? Supposedly 4x more efficient at warming 
water than solar electric, and still has good NYS incentives. A full 
system looks to be around $4000 for a family from estimates I have seen.

While I love some concepts of small scale hydro, you need water, which 
is certainly not on everyone's property, and the larger scale you go, 
the more ecological effects are potentially an issue.
