I've never been able to figure out how these things are worth it

You have to invest a ton of money and only break even in 10 years or so

You're collectively costing us millions of dollars by hoarding this information

Vacation house in 300+ days of sun with massive roof. Helps that it is sloped + south facing. The draw is next to nothing 70% of the time, so excess sold constantly. It's great. MAGA

We have them on our house and only pay like $10 a month for electricity. And we use a TON of electricity. But the economics of putting them on yourself is different. The payback period is like 6-8 years.

If these things lasted 20+ years with no maintenance it would seem to be a no brainer

My fear is the panels start to develop problems around the time you break even

So I looked into it a bit and the local power monopoly in my area has worked with local goverment to ensure that it isn't cost effective for anyone to install a solar system any more:

The biggest LOL here is that this is in Phoenix

And if you already installed a solar system: hahaurfucked

they are legit in relatively sunny areas where the local government hasn't specifically set things up to make them a bad investment

It's a god damn shame for those of us in Phoenix. See my link above.

Here is a quote from the same article:

"Officials found that the average customer in that group paid $181 a month before solar, compared with $122 a month with solar on the demand rate."

So tell me who is going to spend $10k or $15k up front to save $59 per month? Or am I just reading this wrong?

yeah if only we could have just let germany win WW2, so the entire world would consist of meticulously logically plotted out single-family homes, each equipped with solar panels and inhabited by a monogamous mother and father with 2 children who help out with the yard work since there are no illegal immigrants to do it
