I'm not sure it looks that bad. I need to talk to the POCO coop again and make sure I understand the way the net metering works better - it really kinda sucks if I only get credit for as many peak-hour kwh's as what I used, and not for all I generate. Makes a big difference: PVWatts has me generating about 150 peak-kwhs per month for the 6 months of the "summer" rates, whereas I use about 50 in each such month.
Anyhow, what would you all say is the ratio of system cost to expected annual payback that makes sense ? Perhaps a range, between the number where it's definitely a good idea, and the number where it's definitely not. I suppose it depends on the time value of money, or inflation.
