Look at it another way. Imagine you were buying a house for $500,000 and were going to mortgage it over 20 years. Your monthly payments would be around $2200 a month. If you could add $100 to your monthly payments and get "free" electricity (and be super green at the same time) for as long as you owned the house, wouldn't you take it?

If it's such a no-brainer why isn't every business solar powered? clearly it's a great investment and it would result in PR boost? Why are $500 referral fees and huge salesman commissions needed, instead of everyone fighting to get in queue to get it installed? Why are substantial government subsidies needed? Why is the company selling this product struggling, losing $$ every year, only staying afloat because of gov subsidies?
could it be that it's not as great of an investment as everyone makes it out to be?
