The ROI is not great. Especially for those of us over 65. But I would not be doing this to make a financial return. I really have strong opinions on the environment, and If the investment is paid for at 12 yrs or so, we will be happy with that. (the average most of our bids show) Then is equal to cost of electricity from he local utility.

We are not in a rush. We want to be well educated on our options as well as the industry as a whole before we move forward.
We agree complete with everything you said.
