Solar power expected to dominate electricity generation by 2050—even without more ambitious climate policies::In pursuit of the ambitious goal of reaching net-zero emissions, nations worldwide must expand their use of clean energy sources. In the case of solar energy, this change may already be upon us.

        10kw in Minnesota, apparently one of the most expensive states in the US to get solar. I do get 13,000 back in tax credits.

          Wow, that is insane. Even more so when you take the currency differences into account. I get why your raging inside.

      How can it not? If you have a $40k system, you will make enough electricity to avoid paying for electricity at all. You will probably even get a small check from the power company every month. Add up the check and the old utility bill and I bet it beats bank interest on 40k by a mile. Not to mention you are probably eligible for some tax incentives.

        I like your optimism! I do get $13,000 back in tax credit. My math says that I should get my money back in 10 to 12 years.
