Even if financing over say 10 years, when you factor in the 30% tax credit,subtract out inflation, as long as one gets financing in the 4-5% range the tax credit off sets the cost of financing. I believe this is why Solar City can do it. Of course I think they finance around 10% if you want to purchase, that way they actually make money!
My power was interrupted yesterday (planned outage) and it really sucked that I could not use my solar array. Had to actually break out the stand by generator after power being off more than 8 hours. The good news is that as of 7:48 AM this morning I am once again feeding back into the grid (meter is turning backward).
