We went solar 4 years ago, taking advantage of state and federal tax credits. We have a heat pump providing heat and ac. Our energy bills are at or near zero half the year, and quite affordable the rest. Those who can should get busy.
We're getting great payback from our rooftop solar in Northern California. I think, even now, with some of the federal and state benefits expiring, it's a good investment. But it may be more difficult to get payback in colder climates. And it's likely not an option for people who rent.
We had a similar experience. We started with one solar panel in the garden and the benefits were immediately apparent. So last year we got another one. We use a local company that has plug and play technology so that the installation is just a matter of finding the right spot, positioning the panel, and then plugging the panel into our house's electrical system. It has cut our electricity bill in half.

The important payback is to planet earth.
