"That assumes $15k, including installation costs and later maintenance, repairs or replacement over 30 years, produces enough electricity, when people want the electricity to replace all the electricity most people would use" No, it doesn't. It assumes that the meter reads zero at the end of the year. I don't have time of use, so my rate is constant. The meter goes one way during the day, and in the opposite direction when the sun goes down, and during rains. At the end of a year, I make about 500 KwH more than I use. The grid is my battery. When it goes down, I go dark.
