Which will cut the payback period for my solar in half.

I bought it for independence, not economics.

I bought it for both. I believe long before the Dims implement a mark of the beast style permission slip for who gets energy, they'll try to price hike energy out of our reach. Basically IMHO, the economics of solar is the independence.

As power rates and natural gas rates go up while gas at the pump stays high, my wife thinks I'm genius for the overall energy project of going solar, making our house all electric, and doing most of our driving in the EV. I tell her that I hate the Dims making it so that free American citizens have to think like project engineers just to maintain our financial freedom. And that's just for those of us who live in a climate that's good for solar. I don't know what can be done for our fellow Americans who don't live in the south.

Indeed.

70-80% of my normal-living annualized power bill is FLAT RATE for likely the rest of my life. We added 10 kW of solar and ‘look really smart’ now.

If we had to we could cut consumption more.

Glad we have a roof and a home suitable for it. Not everyone has that “privilege.”

That is exactly why I installed my system... as a hedge against raising electric costs.
