It makes a lot of sense. More people should (have) gotten in while the getting was good.
If
- your roof gets sun
- you own your house
- you’re going to stay there ~10 years
- you don’t have to go into debt at a bad rate to do it
You should have really looked into it while the 30% fed discount existed. I think it dies at the end of this year. Payoff time with a battery is something like 9-14 years, but after that it’s 10-25 years of profit. And you don’t have to worry about power outages anymore.
True. They don’t want you feeding power back into supposedly dead lines that they might be trying to work on.
If you get a battery, you’ll get a power shutoff installed with it. That power shutoff allows you to separate entirely from the grid instantly and keep your system running off grid. Imo it’s half the reason to get a battery.
You can get the shutoff without the battery, but it’s not much cheaper.
