hum, rooftop solar could get me $3K savings over 20 years - not a sound investment, and maybe no help to the environment either.

*that's $3K savings over 20 years after rebates/tax incentives. How much will $3K be worth in 20 years? 😆

@kabuku I'm city center and have largish roofs (large enough), but if you go big, the material cost scales with it, and if you go small, the savings isn't there. It's a luxury… There's no practical benefit with reliable power.

@kabuku Power is already cheap, and the more people install solar, the less it makes sense for people to install solar, it seems like.

I could be missing something, though!

@kabuku boy, that's refreshing to hear. Glad for folks to optimize the potential because the market is being created, but exactly what you said.

@33MHz how does one dispose of the panels safely when they’re no good anymore?

@mandy maybe third world countries will buy them to strip metals and separate the materials like with other electronic trash. -_- Or the poor can use them if they just have 50% reduced efficiency etc.
