Reply to Rooftop Solar Is Becoming More Accessible to People with Lower Incomes, But Not Fast Enough - Inside Climate News by darth_nadoma
Was recently quoted for solar and batteries and it was 160k. The monthly payback would have been higher than my power bill by $150. I want to reduce my carbon footprint but that’s absurd.

You’re full of shit, solar panels are warrantied at 10-25 years for a reason. They lose effectiveness every year as well so you have to add panels over time which means more expenses. Then the batteries are warrantied at 5-15 years so there’s added expenses during the 30 year payoff. So in a perfect world that’s 30 years to get my money’s worth but add the $150 a month extra to my power bill and it’s more like 40 years.
