re: Rooftop Solar is about to collapse -Time Mag.

I also took advantage of the subsidies and have been happy with the results. It's well known that if you take the subsidies away it's not really worth it. My portion was paid for in 4 years of savings.

Whether or not I would foot 100% of the bill of a replacement is going to depend on the longevity of my current system and the cost of removal and replacement. My rough math is that the overall savings will not warrant the full cost of the replacement. I'll be glad to share my data when that time comes.

I'm not some environmentalist nut job that thinks that solar is the answer. I think there's not enough objective data out there on the subject and too many people have a strong opinion on the subject (for financial or ideological reasons).
