I’ve never understood the calculations people make to justify that solar roof panels save them money.

Every time I do the calculations, it’s money loss.

If you want to install them for environmental reasons, great. But don’t kid yourself that’s is a great investment. It’s not. Putting the money into an S&P 500 index fund for 14 years is a better investment. It will double about twice in that time.

If everyone does that, all your stock won’t be worse much when the world will be either at war or starving. People have kinda forgot to think long term clearly. Also, you must live in a country where the politics are very anti climate. In my country it’s a good investment to install solar power.
