first off, who has a nominal $9k power bill? really asking, not trying to be a jerk. the high rates from last week were basically gouging during a crisis and shouldn't be long term. second, when companies have tried selling the solar installs, they were coming with $22-30k price tags and the companies were claiming approx $100/mo savings on power bills. at that rate for the lowestof those install costs and zero interest rate, it would take more than 18 years to recover the investment cost
