You said, . . . Doing the math, and not the Sunny Day Scenario the solar companies tout, it comes to 25 years for payback.
If payback is actually 25 years . . . I have heard of some systems where it is 40 years . . . and warranty on the solar system is only 20 years, then there is a big disconnect! How can this make sense?
It doesn’t make any sense. Salesmen sell the Sunny Day Scenario: “When everything lines up and the skittle farting unicorns come out to play, your solar system will makes oodles of electricity and pay off in 8 years! Promise!”
