Solar Payback Period Explained
The payback period is how long it takes for your solar savings to equal your initial investment. Most systems pay for themselves in 6-10 years, with 15+ years of free electricity after.
Factors That Speed Up Payback
- Federal and state tax incentives
- High local electricity rates
- Good sun exposure and production
- Paying cash instead of financing
- Rising electricity rates over time
