Getting solar isn't about saving money, you should only do it for one of two reasons.

 

1 - your environmentally concerned, you want to help reduce carbon footprints and that kind of stuff.

 

2 - you want to be self sufficient and able to produce power for yourself regardless of what happens to the grid during a storm/catastrophe.

 

The technology and demand just simply are not there for it to be a cost saving move, that's why the government steps in and tries to subsidize the market to offset the extreme cost and encourage people to do it.
