School Math:

Jimmy spends on average $150 a month on all his electrical needs in his home.

If James sells Jimmy a solar panel system for 30k, with a 10 year average of battery replacement at 8k, how long will it take Jimmy to recoup the money he has spent and break even?

Answer:
a: 65+ years because the panels have to be replaced every 25 years
b: never but it sure looks ritzy on the roof of my house
c: doesn't matter, I'm stopping climate change
d: Jimmy couldn't sell his house because buyers didn't want solar issues
e: salesman said I could sell the extra back to the power company
f: the real money is selling the panels and James is laughing all the way to the bank
