Huge savings with the solar panels.

Pay $20,000 to put them in. They last 20 years. That’s $1,000 per year cost of the panels. The savings per year on electricity is way more than that.

Two months of electric bills and the amortized cost of the panels is covered. The rest of the year it is electric bills of $1.85 or during heavy usage, $5.00 a month.

How do you figure they don’t pay? Not following you.

I was quoted $72,000 to put them in (admittedly, my house is not small) and told that at best they could run one A/C unit for a few hours - and the Tesla batteries are back ordered for over a year. With the predicted savings it would have taken about twenty years to break even - when it would be time to start over.

I don’t think the math works very well unless homebuilders start including solar in new builds.
