My solar is worth it. $20k to generate all the power my home will use for the next 30 years. Net metering really helps make the numbers work.

- zug_zug 3y agoGlad that's the case. I do find that in certain areas, with certain electricity costs, solar can be worth it. But I also find that a lot of people are miscalculating their break-even point. If I invest $X, the default return is 5% forever for infinity years with 0 maintenance. So if invest $X in solar, and return 5% for 30 years and then the system breaks, then I lost money compared bonds/whatever. (Again, most of solar investment drives technology improvements and is a great way to help the world become more sustainable)
