you'll basically never make it back iirc

by the time you may even get close to paying it off, its time for a new one.

really only worth if you just want to have solar and got a spare 5-6 figures to drop on it and wont miss that money.

hopefully this changes in the near future and it will be way more affordable.

What planet are you on?

I’m in Canada, in a tight valley that snows a lot.

7.8kw on the roof, even if I paid full price out of pocket it would be fully paid off in 13 years, and then I get $1000 a year of free power for another 20 or so years.

Even at full price it’s a total no brainer.
