I think it also depends on how much electricity you use.

With global warming, it seems to pull more cool air in off the ocean and I've used my AC less these past two summers than the years before. I've also switched lighting to LED and only my stereo, DVR and computer workstation use much power. If you live further inland or anywhere it gets really hot, then the solar makes a ton of sense as it works best when hot and sunny, when needed most.

I'd like to save money with heat pumps and electrical rather than $300 or $400 a month for natural gas heating during the worst winter months, but the equipment isn't as reliable, the house isn't set up for it and the way to go might be get batteries to buy cheap electricity from the grid and use it during the time power is expensive.

Or just sell a few shares of stock and not worry about the cost! LOL
