Here are avg dollar per year savings for a "typical" solar installation in 2019; since 2019, solar has gotten cheaper and grid power more expensive. Note also that a typical system is said to add about $15,000 to the value of a home for resale.

This means that in 2019, with rebates and tax incentives, the payoff period was 7.3 years in California. And with a 25 year performance warranty and 15-25 year product warranty, you can expect pure profit for a decade or more after.

And yes, at present 80% of the weight of solar panels is recyclable today.
