5 Years On: Did the (Solar) Panels live up to its expectations?

In the Spring of 2012, we went SOLAR. A few of my friends even questioned my judgement at that time; having a big bulky solar system over our roof and spending over $6000, when our bill was too small to start with; only about $68/month.

But being a big fan of clean renewable energy, I couldn’t resist the temptation when SolarCity gave me a deal (I paid $6321 for a 5.59 kw DC system with no payment for next 20 years), a deal which till date, I haven’t found anyone getting better or even closer to.

On completing a one year mark I shared my experience with a detailed blog here, if you want to get into the numbers and maths.

So, on this 5 year mark, last month, I wanted to provide an update, on top of my earlier one.

Would I do it again: of course YES. Rather next time, I would buy a much bigger system, keeping my future needs in mind , not just thinking of my past needs, as I did last time around.
