As to solar cells...the technology as of today dictates you will never recoup the cost.

I don't want to debate the gas vs elec thing it's been done way too much herein.
but for you to say battery replacement is ridiculous isn't fair gas carts need servicing too. And if that engine needed to be replaced that isn't cheap
Going solar you do recoup the cost, so that's not correct.
It's not only about recouping costs. (global warming)
We can also talk about your carbon footprint but that a whole other story............again debated here before.
Enjoy your cart just stay far ahead or behind I don't want to hear that little lawnmower sound or inhale the carbon dioxide.
