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

The draw is next to nothing 70% of the time, so excess sold constantly. It's great. MAGA (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4080966&forum_id=2#36838244) |

But the economics of putting them on yourself is different. The payback period is like 6-8 years. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4080966&forum_id=2#36838156) |

Date: September 19th, 2018 12:57 AM Author: soggy indian lodge 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 |

Date: September 19th, 2018 10:43 PM Author: soggy indian lodge 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

Date: September 19th, 2018 10:47 PM Author: soggy indian lodge 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?
