Panels were $12,000 Cnd
Racking. $3000
Charge control $1700
Batteries $1400
Sundry items $1000
DIY inverter $3000

If I were to do it again I would DIY the charge controller as well. I have my ROI at about 6 yrs based on today’s cost of electricity. I know most people like to think this way to justify the expenditure. I know though the price of power is only going to increase so that time will get shorter

For me other things come into play like charging electric vehicles and cutting grass with electrons. In the beginning of the season I had employed the kubota rider and it cost me $14.00 in diesel fuel for the cut and my guess is 20 cuts.in the season
