That sounds in line with what my landlord has told me about solar in our office.
He installed panels because they said he’d break even in 10 years and the panels had a useful life of approximately 20 years. The panels have reduced his electric bill by about 25% but after having them for a few years he now calculates his break even at 30 years. He’s just hoping the panels will last past 20 years, otherwise he’ll never break even.
Dang. I hope IF they really want us to jump on these solar panels, they improve them. I even hear some of my neighbors say theirs leak sometimes. that would stink for sure.
