Hardly a good economic choice...

The words long term investment come to my mind.

The only long term investment in solar that might make some financial sense would be investing in R&D to try to improve solar technology to make it more cost effective in the future. Pouring money into a costly, inefficient technology is hardly a good financial choice, even in the long term.

Not that long term.

The solar cells die over time.

The solar cells don't last much longer than their payback time.
