Coincidentally my monthly utility payment was about the same. So to me it was no brainer. Either pay 240 for something that I own versus paying to utility company
In couple of years I'll have zero electric bill and zero payments

Not sure what your friend did. Doesn't sound like a good deal
I have a 40 dollar a month electric bill

It works out to something like 30 years of electric bills just to break even

And that assumes zero maint costs and that the panels are still worth something/function at close to 100% efficiency after 3 decades

Even if I DOUBLE my electric usage its still 15 bloody years to break even asssuming zero maint costs
