My wife, who is no stranger to the desire to hug a random tree, has been looking into purchasing Solar Panels to reduce our energy consumption. I'm more of a cut the tree down and burn the wood to warm the house type.
REGARDLESS - was running some numbers on this to try logic in my approach. I figure these units generate on average 1300 kwh /year. I currently pay .088 cents per kwh. This in effect "saves" me $115/year or say $10 dollars a month. the units cost like 3200 up front and $17/month for 15 years.
Is my math wrong? or does or local energy provider honestly believe we can't run the numbers and see that this make no financial sense?
