Yeah, that's why I have a range, 8-15k, and if you double 8k, you get 16k, so I pretty much doubled it.
Costs depends on what your power needs are, if you use a lot or get little sunlight, it's going to cost a lot more in panels and labor, and that can be way more than double.
You can have solar and still use power, just pay a reduced bill... some people only get enough panels to power the house without heavy use, no hot-tubs, or anything extra really. Even if you only got 1 panel, it's a reduction in your cost.
So it can be even less than $8k.
