A comment on Got a deck? Solar panels now a plug-in appliance. Parent comment
Where (climate) and Location on house (shading) and Electricity Price and Discount Rate and *Utility/Government Incentives (vary by utility)
but at $5.50/W (assuming installation is free) in a place like Phoenix, you're looking at about 27 years before incentives, about 20 years after.
$5.50/W is kinda steep nowadays, but probably a decent deal for a hobbyist-sized system of this nature.
