Hi Cor and All, Fact is as much as I like SC
leasing is very expensive compared to owning. SC makes almost ALL the money
though makes clean power which isn't bad. But the low cost high
profit way owning is far better with paybacks in many places under 3, even 2
yrs or places like Hawaii, 1 yr. How is cutting out all the
parasites by buying the parts, kits from places like sunelec/dmsolar and having
a local electrician to permit, install or do your own. This comes under
$2k/kw. No reason to pay more. Next don't put it on the house
roof unless the only choice. Much better to make a porch, carport, patio,
awnings, shed, etc added value while avoiding huge engineering fees and making
it easier to clean, maintain and install. Done right the added
value of say a carport or shed and solar system could increase the home's
value several x's cost making it very profitable from day 1. As
for Tesla's battery it can make a profit in places like Cal Time of Day
pricing, other higher rate areas, but really too costly. It needs to be under
$200/kwhr and soon as Tesla/SC makes the market, many other stationary battery
types under that price, many with unlimited life, will pop up.
Sadly most utilities don't understand how DG, home solar can work with them to
lower their cost supplying near pollution free power. US utilities are going
to keep shrinking, they have for yrs, and need to plan on generating a lot
less, transporting others power to make profit or they will go bankrupt as few
will keep paying more for polluting power when the solution is a phone call
away. Not just producing your home's energy needs but freeing one
from ever higher transport fuel costs with EV's as part of the system lowers
energy costs 50-75% with little pollution, is a hard to beat energy future.
