Oil & Gas - A Slap in the Face

With the subsidies gone, it's not worth it in most of Washington. By the time you break even, the panels are at EOL. It costs about $3.00 per installed Watt, so a 10 kW system runs 30K. Now do the math: In the average day, according to a map I just looked at, you're going to get about 35 kWh out of a 10 kW system in western Washington. Here, that's $3.50 savings per day. In Wenatchee, where my in-laws live, that's less than a dollar. So somewhere between 8,500 and 30,000 days to break even, depending on where you live. Again, the panels don't last forever, so something to consider.creepycoug said:
Seems like an investment worth pondering assuming it's your 'till I die' house. How much translates to the re-sale? Is it like a kitchen or bathroom remodel?godawgst said:Including install around 40K here in SW Washington. Payback is 15-20 years assuming no rebates b/c of combo low rates and fewer hours of sun avail compared to other areas of the country.
