Solar panels are rapidly falling in price, and now I'm generating the power right where I'm using it - so no transmissions losses, no power transmission infrastructure, no transformers, no poles to replace when they get old, no lines to replace when trees fall on them, no trees to trim. No accounts to maintain, no billing, no credit card fees, no taxes.
In fact, to get power to my house for the next ~30+ years requires absolutely zero labor from anybody.
Of course it's economical, it would be baffling if it wasn't.
