I'm making an Excel sheet that should figure out when this is all paid off. So here are the variables I have come up with so far. Can anybody think of any others I need?

Current cost per kwh electric
Interest rate (assuming borrowing money)
Down payment
Electric cost inflation
KWH used per month
Avg sun hrs/day
Watts per panel
# of panels
cost per panel
Cost of grid tie kit
Installation fees (what my friend and I would charge to install)
Square meters of panel

The idea is to see how long it would take to pay off the solar panels and have the customer make money on their investment.
