PV Economics & Payback

PV is now a mature, low-risk investment, but whether a specific system pays depends on its cost, how much of its output is used on site, and the value of the electricity it displaces. Because the technology is so reliable, the financial risk lies almost entirely in these price and usage assumptions rather than in the panels. This lesson covers the cost side, the value side, a worked example, the 25-year view, and what strengthens the case.
