I'm repeating myself, but nobody in the Oregon valley is money ahead by purchasing solar. If I have $10k in my pocket, I could buy a solar roof and have it pay back in 10 years (supposedly). On the other hand, if I invest the $10k, in 10 years I'll have turned it into $20k.
It might make financial sense when heavily subsidized, but not if you've got to pay market price for everything.
Of course, we don't need financial reasons to do something, to say it's the financially prudent thing to do is misleading.
