      How can it not? If you have a $40k system, you will make enough electricity to avoid paying for electricity at all. You will probably even get a small check from the power company every month. Add up the check and the old utility bill and I bet it beats bank interest on 40k by a mile. Not to mention you are probably eligible for some tax incentives.

        I like your optimism! I do get $13,000 back in tax credit. My math says that I should get my money back in 10 to 12 years.
