Solar generally has a very realistic ROI in the 5-12 years range in Alberta depending on a number of factors. For some projects that's not good enough, for others it is, it's more of a choice about how you want to allocate your capital recourses than a money pit.
As for the vandalism comment, I can't really say. The way some have a tendency to politicize and demonize specific technologies or changes is really sad, and it makes me sad to hear that they may have driven people to criminal behavior if they are specifically targeting small scale renewables infrastructure.

I don't think theft of solar panels from wellsites is politically motivated. They're unsupervised and a solar panel is safe and easy to remove and has obvious value. If oil companies put up copper busts of Ayn Rand at their wellsites those would get stolen too.
