I just got a DIY kit quote for solar and it’s ~$18,000. That would mean a contractor installing is at least $25,000 if not more. That’s a big chunk of change upfront.

    Being able to swing the occasional 500 dollars is quite different than affording an additional monthly expense of 500 dollars

      Then don’t add solar.

      For those who can look past what is happening today, they can see that the temporary hit of $500/mo for 5 years can result in potential savings of hundreds of dollars each month for 20 or 30+ years.

      The fact that people have to even be explained this concept probably means they have no business hanging around in a home improvement community. Because you know, some of us like to improve our homes and not live in squalor, and things cost money. That sounds like it is a foreign concept to some in here.
