I just wish the prices would come down. I still got quoted over $20,000 for a 6kW system for my house. The payback time was 30 years with only a 25 year lifetime on the panels.

We need the price to drop another 50% if they actually want people to buy the things.

I got a quote 23k for 9kw so yours is really high. With rebate I'm looking at 9.9 years

Also for a 30 year payback at that price, they'd have to be paying like what? Three cents per kWh for grid power?

They have come down in cost rapidly, and don’t seem to have stopped. The cost per watt is about a fifth of what it was a decade ago, and we’ve blown way ahead of forecasts from that period. Also 30 year payback time? That’s extremely atypical from my own research into this.
