It's not an opinion. Explaining my ROI on solar is facts. I've been very detailed in sharing them here. I've also acknowledged they aren't for everyone, and not all can attain the same 10 year payback that many of us get.
Having new posts that continually say "it's not an investment", that's an opinion, and it's wrong. There's no polite way to say it.
It is an investment, albeit a poor one IMO, until price comes down on every one of them I've seen.

It's a poor investment for much of the country but a fantastic investment for some parts of the country. It has nothing to do with how much sun your state gets but everything to do with cost of electricity, local government incentives, and whether your power company does net metering.
In lower NY state, 5-6 year break-even then 14+ years of straight profit. Not many investments like that in the world.

Yep. I belong to a (nation-wide) solar discussion thread, and half of the conversation is on weird TOU rules, and net metering, and other government restrictions.
I'm lucky this isn't an issue in Texas.
