I'm paying 20 cents USD per KWH, so you would think that a cheap package
like the 1.4KW kit, $8600 w/DIY install, wouldn't have a such a long pay back.
But, I'm an old guy and won't likely live to see break-even.

GTe 1.4

Maybe, I could live to see the day, if the KWHs go up to 80 or 90 cents..

Which could actually happen if (or when?) the government takes over the power companies.

With the US gov printing trillions in crisp new bills, we might see the cost
of panels double or triple during the next few years, so now might be a
good time to get some PV hardware..
