What about 'designed to fail' didn't you understand? Nothing like promoting marginal technologies with no legs, using them to launder tax money and profits to elites, then sequestering the the energy assets that actually work to hold society hostage.

The billing complexity out here is enough to scare me off. That said, you're saying a 100W panel costs $100. If it generates 0.5 kWh per day, you're looking at 182.5 kWh per year. At your specified $0.13 per kWh that's $23.73 generated per year for a total payoff within 5 years. Double the costs to account for labor and the inverter hardware, but triple the $0.13 because... California. So a solar panel system would seem to make sense in an area like mine. (Again, if someone can explain all the crazy billing stuff, I might consider it.)
Clif High's audit of solar panels. Still wildly optimistic, because I doubt that solar panels will perform in any meaningful sense over 20 years. Electronics tend to deteriorate a lot between 10 and 15 years just through materials stresses
