That’s a phenomenal ROI if you’re in it for the long haul. Thanks for sharing the details.

And I'm in the rocky mountains in Canada, where basically everyone says "Solar will never work here".

In my experience, solar works everywhere. TONS of friends in Alaska and Yukon have been off grid since ~2010.

My MSc research at UWaterloo involved mapping photovoltaic viability in Canada. The data was somewhat uninteresting because the conclusion was: pretty much everywhere.
