Why can't you tell me the economics you experienced? I wouldn't do something that doesn't make economic sense and you haven't shown it made economic sense for you. Here's something I found: The cost for a 1 kilowatt peak system can range from US$8,000 to US$12,000 or €8,800 to €13,200 before sales tax and any government program assistance. Installation costs add another US$1,000-2,000 or €1,100-2,200. Assuming a 20 year life for the system, and including the cost of finance, this investment can equal a price in kilowatt hours of 30-40c/kwhr in sunny climates and 60-80c/kwhr in cloudy climates. 30-40 cents per kwhr is really high.
