I have had them for 10yrs. My back roof faces due south with no trees.

The initial system was about 7000+ watts installed in 2010. I added 2000+ on the garage a few years later and now have 9800 watts installed. Over the past 10yrs they have produced over 105,000 kw of power. ConEd charges about 20 cents or so where I live. After all the initial tax incentives at the time (30 percent tax credit) plus some NY state rebates, I am right around break even right now - give or take a year.

There is no maintenance except for every now and then the box that connects the system to the internet needs to be rebooted. And there are no leaks from the bolts.

I guess it's worth it. Without the incentives probably not so much. I think costs are a good amount lower now then when I did it.

Right at this moment it's producing 6,800 watts and it did 42kw total today.  It is set up to net meter so that the excess power flows back into the grid and my meter spins backward. I've had only two months where my electric  bill was zero (in summer).
