    And not including the financing cost of buying up an this upfront.

    I’m buying 36kWh solar array and it will be home made diy, used.parts and maximum jank and don’t paid upfront because that’s the only way it makes economic sense and that’s hoping it works for more than 7 years (break even point at my insolation level and and grid price (8.8$cad/kWh) and it only works with net metering)

      Levelized cost averages the fixed costs over the lifetime of the generation

      They’re generally comparing utility scale installations, not home rooftop solar though.

      In my area, you don’t get any government incentives unless it is professionally installed. They get you coming and going.
