Fellow mustachians,
I am kicking around getting solar panels put on my roof.
Basically it works out to 11k out of pocket after the federal credit, then we get a roughly $450 a year payment from the utility based on production, plus net metering. According to the proposal we would generate around 4800 kwhs a year. Using their rates of energy price increases I came up with the attached analysis.
Now my question for you! What am I missing here. I did not include a replacement converter or any maintenance costs, (is there much maintenance)? Has any one seen if you can recover a bit of the cost on resale? Any other thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
Dan
