At least where I live, solar is still roughly break even cost-wise with not installing solar over 20 years -- but it increases your home's complexity and makes updating your roof more complicated and expensive.
- bruce511 2y agoThe math varies a lot by location. In the US the costs of gear and install are typically higher (twice as high as here.) It'll also obviously be a factor of electricity cost, sunny days, your residential consumption and so on. Personally I get 17.5% return on capital spent (and ways to improve that further) so the math works out well. Ymmv.
- dzhiurgis 2y agoSame here. I live where there’s ton of sun, but power is cheap and install is expensive and not subsidised. Dad lives in northern europe, power is 2x more and install is 2x and subsidised. In december he generates like 20kwh per month from 8kw array. Still already paid itself after few years.
