What is the payback period for your car, TV, or fridge?

The question of payback period rarely, if ever, arises while making purchases. There is a want or desire for an item and it is purchased, the payback is immediate. When it comes to solar the same rules no longer seem to apply. When people shift from seeing solar as an unaffordable luxury towards wanting it as an essential for their home or business, this question will cease to be asked. Until then, this number depends on the financial incentives and the cost of the system both of which will be covered in a quote from an installation company.
