It depends on the price of electricity in your area, as well as the original cost of the panels. However, panels are becoming cheaper each year and the standard time to get your money back is now around three years.

Are solar panels worth the money?
In the long term installing solar panels is worth the money. For example, a household of 2 adults and 3 children, before they got solar panels their monthly bill was $200 (AUD). But after they got solar panels their monthly bill was $45 (AUD). That was a saving of $155 (AUD). The solar power altogether was $1800 (AUD) so in a year the savings in the power bills would equal $1860 (AUD). Thats $60 (AUD) over what the cost of the solar power. In my opinion, solar power is worth the money.
Is home solar power a good choice?
