Solar Panels For Homes

Will a solar panel ever pay for it self in electrical savings, at market prices? ?

I bought a solar panel, it cost about 400 dollars , when the sun is shining it makes about, 50 watts , then I have to buy the inverter and the batteries , at market prices, will it ever pay for itself? They say it will last about 10 years. And how about a windmill ?

You need in average 30 years to recover the investment of a solar energy system, this makes it economical unfeasible in most cases.The solar system will not probably last that either.

The only case where solar energy is economical feasible is where you do not have access to the grid, e.g. remote location.

In some countries where government wants to promote a green politics, the hardware is provided a low cost (green benefit), this makes it economical feasible for the final user.

Another way to make it economical feasible is to start from scratch thinking solar e.g. before building your house. If you buy and build everything; appliances, walls, heat systems and so on, thinking in how to do the best use of solar energy, thus you can get a nearly economical feasible system.
