Hello, you seem to be missing the point. Not saying it's for everyone. For me, it's not just about saving money, it was about finding the most cost effective solution for providing emergency backup power. And I'm not talking just short term capital cost, I'm looking at complete long-term ROI vs. buying propane or gas powered generators that require on-going maintenance, gas feeding (if available), replacing every 5-10 years, vs 20-40 year lifespan of solar, and also add long term value to the home in addition to offsetting the annual electric bill and powering my electric vehicle (There's an extra $200 or so per month right there). Not to mention the even greater future savings when electric bills and gas costs increase even more over the years and my Solar just keeps producing at a greater offset. We also live in a very good area for Solar production, so again a plus over the other choices. Not for everyone, but certainly right for me and maybe others.

Oh yes you have some more issues too, backup power which here is never needed since it never interrupt, and you have an electric car I guess? Here only few people have it... So both points out of my sight
