Wow what a process, but a very nice roof. I think the guy needs to hire a garner to clean up his front yard LOL.

17 years to pay off whole system .but I think there also a time life on the batterys that needs to figured in '?
there also I'm sure a maintenance contract .they are selling along with these roofs at a yearly rate . they will also be other charges to go along. also these systems are great in state like California and Florida ,texas and arizona . but would be a nightmare in colder states trying to recoup the costs.

We added additional solar panels to our house so now we have a $0 electric bill except for gas which runs $40/month; however, I pay $100/month for the loan, and another $100 for the existing 12 panels that came with the house that is on a lease. Note to others - don't go with a lease. You get screwed over in the end. At the time we got the house in 2015, my wife and I did not know that the builder was in bed with the leasing company. We found this out about a year later. Even with these costs, it's still cheaper than not having it, and ending up with a $500+ electric bill in the summer months.

We live in CA - need I say more. How much does it cost to register your car every year? Mine on my 2016 Subaru Outback is $250. Hell, even my house now is over $800k.

My electric bill is pushing $350/mo ever since my wife switched to working from home. She never gives the A/C a break so it keeps the house at 75 all damn day long. Can't wait for cooler temps to come in so it won't run as much.
