If your system got in on the tax incentives, that might pay for itself eventually but an off gridder like me doesn't enjoy those tax savings so my scraped together little by little 22kw system, 10,000 watts on 2 inverters & 35kw in batteries ran me about 30k. Being I'm 65 now & with the gov't actively engaged in stealthly killing off all of us, I don't epect I''ll or many be around very long so it would have worked out cheaper just to stay on the grid for what time I likely have left but the accomplishment of not being beholdant to anyone to provide a necessary commodity is worth the cost. I look at it like being a hot rodder who's building the hottest ride that can made with what you got to work with. It's an expensive hobby with useful gratifying returns.
