An important item to remember is that solar cells and equipment may get cheaper but your cost to have a system will be about the same. Why ? Becuase there are incentives that are rated by year and each yet the incentive is reduced by about 10%. Even clean energy won't get a fat incentive forever.
Also the cost of labor goes up. Electric rates keep rising so it will seem cheaper to have your own safe clean power. The best time to install solar is now.

To compare look at Japan. The have no incentives and everyone intsalls solar panels. They also have some of the highest electric rates in the world at over 20 cent s a kwh.

So don't even expect a free ride. If you pay a fair value you will keep your osts from going up but not get rick off solar panels or othr renewable energy. Clean quailty cost money.

PS you can invest in comapnies that are clean and your returns could make you a few bucks. Sunpower solar has gone up almost 100% this year alone. First solar when up anout 500% .
