People seem to be missing out on the ROI accelerating. Grid energy gets keeping getting more expensive per unit, and base fees, at least here, are absurd – it was about $42 to get my first kWh. Between that and them cutting power for a week when temps were in the single digits, I did the late-night infomercial thing of saying “There’s got to be another way.”
Also, agreed: Never get your loan from an installer.

I ran the numbers on mine and it’d be 25 years ROI, which is also likely past the life of the panels.
I live northern US, with a hydro dam nearby and a non-profit co-op utility. $0.06/kWh. $25/mo hookup fee. And natural gas for heat.
Doesn’t quite make sense yet.
