Was recently quoted for solar and batteries and it was 160k. The monthly payback would have been higher than my power bill by $150. I want to reduce my carbon footprint but that’s absurd.

The panels need to be replaced every 10 decades.

This is a lie. Panels are normally warranted for 25 years. Why are you lying?

You’re full of shit, solar panels are warrantied at 10-25 years for a reason. They lose effectiveness every year as well so you have to add panels over time which means more expenses. Then the batteries are warrantied at 5-15 years so there’s added expenses during the 30 year payoff. So in a perfect world that’s 30 years to get my money’s worth but add the $150 a month extra to my power bill and it’s more like 40 years.

Modern ones are, there's a large issue with early adopters having to replace their panels, with the been dumped on landfills. The newer 10+ warranties will last longer, but those are the expensive US of A models and not cheaper imports.
