And yes I pay well over in tax for what my credits would be to maximize the savings.
What we are missing are your exact numbers, hence "fuzzy math".Low 100s in winter and mid 400s in summer. I called pnm to see what a budget plan would be to pay a fixed rate every month. Just did this to compare to what solar payments would be. They said to average it would be 255-260 a month. In theory if my solar payment is cheaper then my electric bill over 20 years. Then after that I have only the 8 dollar payment doesn't that save me money the entire time or am i missing something.
Loans are all about the same 25 at 1.99 or 20 at 2.99 with the best quote so far of 45k total cost.What we are missing are your exact numbers, hence "fuzzy math".
Heating and cooling one room can save you wonders on bills.I don’t remember the last time I had an over $120 bill with power… lol

I just fire up the heater in the morning when I get up. Once it's at 67* off it goes. Natural gas prices are crazy doubled this year too. Never thought electric would be cheaper than Nat. gas but here we are.I don’t even remember the last time I used my second room other than to let my dogs in the backyard lol.
Then again. This time of year I never even have my AC on..it’s 50s outside so. it’s off and it feels amazing in my house
Consider too the resale value when you do move.My issue is, I most likely will move before I break even on the investment.
Didn't we recently see CA cut way back on buying excess energy produced by solar? If that happens through the U.S. at some point, solar savings falls quite a bit. I, too, am not sold on solar long term. The percentage of solar installations locally is extremely small. JMO.Do be aware of your local utility’s net metering structure. And how these rates can change. Majority of the time there is no grandfather clause and what works out today may not tomorrow.
Traditional net metering is going by the wayside. It was easy and affective at first to do a one for one trade. But why (unless gov. Regulated due to SREC obligations) would a power company buy your solar for 10cents when they can produce it or buy it from a large supplier for 3cents?
It’ll only last so long.
Needless to say I’m not sold on it.
