With the way prices are dropping for solar and batteries I would recommend doing the calculation again 3-5 years from now as with the current cost trajectory specially if it is just 20-30% more expensive. I think even prices for electric appliances will drop as more people start to use electric appliances like heat pumps etc as they will also enjoy economies of scale and labour cost drop as more installers get used to working with them.
- harmmonica 3y agoIt’s a good call. One thing I struggle with, especially given recent times, is that the trades seem like they’ll only be getting more expensive so even though the material costs may drop the tradespeople will eat up that savings. It’s great for those professionals, of course, but as of late you would’ve been better off doing any project “yesterday” that requires a tradesperson rather than waiting until “tomorrow” (perhaps with the exception of when lumber prices were insane a couple of years back).
