I put 7.3kw of panels on our roof for $0 of our money thanks to a $5k rebate and $8k interest free loan. It makes 7.2Mwh of power a calendar year, which would cost $1000 if we had to pay for it.

So for 8 years we pay the loan instead of for the power, then we get -25 years of $1000 a year in our pockets. The price of power is also pre approved to increase a minimum of 5% a year every year here, so the savings will be more than that.

Right now we get a 1:1 credit for anything we put into the grid. If and when that changes I’ll get a battery.

The kicker? We’re in Canada in a tight valley where it snows a ton. If it works here…
