Roi on solar for single family homes never pays off.

Have a co-worker who paid $20,000 for a system here in the Albuquerque metro area. He gets a base bill every month (basically a meter charge) of about $10 from the electric company. Prior electric bills averaged $150/month throughout the year. So about $1,800/year in electric (rates are rising, too). He'll get a return on that $20,000 in just over 11 years, or less, with rates going up annually.

Yup.

My first thought. My son's four houses in LA county just went up in price/value.
