oic! that's why I see so many homes there with solar arrays installed {not}I'm in Philadelphia and we have more than enough "solar potential" to facilitate a 5 year payback period if purchased correctly.
As mentioned above, pretty much all the US is just fine for solar, so long as you don't pay too much.

what a foolish and snarky comment!So because not the majority of people are doing it your logic is to assume when a majority of people are doing something it must be right.
So I strongly suggest you rack up about $5700 of revolving credit card debt and stick to a diet of fast food and sugar water so you develop diabetes. You know, cause most people are doing that and it must be right.
what a foolish and snarky comment!
the point that I was making is that if it was so economical and financially advantageous to install solar as that poster implied it was then one would think that there are many people who would want to take advantage of such savings.
Thanks for that great insolation graphic. The scale is in kWh/m2/yr. To convert to practical units for home solar, what is the conversion factor you would use?Lots of solar in Germany... guess they missed that memo...
Good point. Solar is a good investment for those who have managed to amass enough wealth to have some discretionary money available after meeting their basic needs; in other words, almost anyone posting here.A foolish and snarky comment gets a foolish and snarky comment in response.... Don't dish what you don't want to receive.
Perhaps the reason solar is not so prevalent on roof tops is just because it's not feasible for the vast majority of people. The initial buy in is high and the return takes time. I'm also guessing middle America isn't buying up apartments or office space in Manhattan to rent out. I would imagine real estate in NYC is a good investment but when a tiny apartment goes for a million plus you're probably not getting people knocking down the door to invest in it. This is just one of hundreds of great investment opportunities out there that not everyone is doing but still remains a good investment.
As I stated in my initial post. Solar isn't for everyone. it's really best for those with good exposure and plenty of disposable income looking for a safe place to park it. If you've diversified and maxed out your other opportunities it is a viable option with a guaranteed return with very minimal risk.
I don't see how you could argue that. But seeing how your responses are trending I am sure you will.

I could have written that. Are you my twin ?So because not the majority of people are doing it your logic is to assume when a majority of people are doing something it must be right.

Please elaborate on what you been by customers, "reneging on the leases".Agreed. Economics just aren't worth it unless you're in California. Too much regulatory uncertainty (hello Arizona and Nevada net metering changes), and well as the capital costs. Only reason Solar City and Vinvint were "doing well" was because they kept suckering people into 20 year leases on the equipment, but even then that gravy train ended, hence Solar City having to get acquired by Tesla because customers kept reneging on the leases, and their debt backed securities based off those leases started to become worthless.
I'd like to know as well; when I researched $SCTY, this was minimal.Please elaborate on what you been by customers, "reneging on the leases".
Solar is just now taking off in Pennsylvania for a myriad of reasons.As I stated in my initial post.

That was a FUD narrative for shorts trying to needle the SCTY business model. I don't know if it's true of other large PPA players, but it isn't for SCTY(Tesla Energy).Please elaborate on what you been by customers, "reneging on the leases".
