Thinking about buying solar panels (self.energy)

So I received an estimate for solar on my roof, which has a good southern slant.

The panels, if financed, would cost about $200/month and offset my $150/month energy bill. The loan would be for 20 years.

However, I might refinance my home and pay in cash. Is now a good time to make this investment?

Never think in terms of monthly payments. Think in terms of how much money they're actually asking you for. That's how they get you to consider $50k solar panels lmao

I heard you like expensive investments. Might I interest you in a boat?
