Nope. They definitely don't understand that. I've tried to explain their dumb fuckery around here that even charging their car is using coal. Blank stare.

I have solar panels on my roof to charge my car and completely power my house. ROI is 7 years because my power costs are low - $0.135/kwh.

You realize those things don't last very long right?

What do you mean by long? The panels and the microinverters have 25 year warranties. Which means I get 18 years of free power before I have to think about out of pocket costs to replace a worn panel.

The bigger issue is if you need your roof replaced before your panels need replacing. Thats why you shouldn't get solar unless your roof is being replaced too.
