You need a very expensive battery off-grid arrangement. Otherwise, when the grid is down, it pulls your system down too.[/quote]

Did the calculation a few month ago, breakeven for solar panels were still over 10 years, counting gov rebates. The lease schemes all involve pretty high interest rates that they do not want to disclose.

Am I wrong about this? Anyone gotten solar recently?[/quote]

Ten sounds about right.

Meanwhile, 97 cent monthly electric bills with the AC set to 72 is PFN. 🙂

The leases make sense if you’ve got very high electric bills each month, think regularly into tier 5. Leases are problematic if you want to sell, the buyer needs to assume the lease.
