We just had our solar installed at the end of 2016, and thus far we have been very happy! I will be happier when i get that huge tax incentive haha :) Can't say much about longevity of course because we just got it, but here are some pros:<br />-sales team was not pushy at all, we actually decided to install more panels than the general recommendation due to kids coming in the future and my opinion that to pay 1/3 less now (with tax credit) would make a lot more sense even if the excess is paid back and not a super great rate (what else to expect from state though, not like it's super surprising)<br />-install was easy and didn't require much on our side which was super helpful since we both travel for work quite often<br />-they have a cool website which tracks how much energy you are bringing in and roughly the dollar value of it<br /><br />I can't see any reason not to do this, especially when the tax credit is available. Given that our electric was $150/month and went down to basically zilch, the system will pay for itself in roughly 8 years, but in actuality much quicker since when we have kids electric would've been much higher. But at that point you have free electricity for the life of the panels! Plus it transfers to the new homeowners if you ever sell, what a phenomenal selling point in 10 years...Hey, guess what, move in here and you won't have an electric bill for maybe 20 years? Anyhow, all good things thus far. Can't wait to get my Tesla and power the car for free :)<br />-
