EcoRenovator - View Single Post - Non-DIY solar/worth the cost?

Hi, I am new to the forum....

I am thinking about getting solar. Projected break even by the local installer is 14.5 years. I have no plans to move any time soon but 14.5 years is a long time.

I am a DIY guy and understand electricity but as far as doing this as DIY I am concerned about the local city permitting bureaucracy (it can be bad), dragging large panels on the roof, and time needed to study the codes, and overall time and energy needed for the project.

Any ideas how to shorten the break even period?
