Solar no longer makes sense unless you're going to live in the same house for 30 years or you're going to install a massive battery bank.
The Commies changed the rules for what the power companies pay you for what you put back into the grid and as a result solar installations were down 85$ last year.
Stay 30yrs or not it’s a better investment than a remodel or whatever aesthetics are the flavor of the day. This house has built in hedge against electricity costs. Sure, the days of cash payments for production are over. Not even sure if those were ever permanent anyway.
We Installed in 2019 with a battery bank as well. That was the last year for the 35% tax credit. Altogether we got $17k cash back in tax credits and rebates cause our roof needed refurbishment for the solar so that got included in the tax credit. Plus, I get credit for what I put back into the system. I’ll get the installation costs back and then some when I sell. Until then I will enjoy cheap energy. Like I said in CA solar can be a good investment. It was for us at least. Seems those days are gone perhaps.
For what it’s worth, my dad who lives in TX just had his installed a couple mos ago and he was able to still get credit for production as well.

Solar is a scam.
