i ran through all the numbers. it can definitely work for most people. my problem is I have this superfancy roof with fragile handmade clay tiles from Mexico. I don’t want anyone screwing around on my roof, even if it’ll help save the planet. I would definitely have purchased them for the roof. For around 30,000 i would get the equivalent of $277 in electricity in today’s prices. to me that would be worth it, esp because you can now finance 25,000 via the fed govt POWERSAVER program 20 year mortgagelow interest rates.
i also got a quote for panels ont he ground, but the same amt of electric would cost 43,000. not quite worth it. if i could finance the whole 43 i mightve gone for it. would be about a wash but it would be cool.
