If you figure my roof otherwise would have been $50,000, and subtract the tax rebate, it cost me $42,500 beyond a normal roof.

Subtract a whole house generator cost from there (which I didn't get because this serves the same function), and it cost me $30,000.

... and $30,000 is a pretty fast payback period with no electric bill, no gas/oil bill, all of our EV charge bill, and the electric company writing me checks every month.
Everyone has to do the math where they are. My coming system will be $88,000 with one PowerWall, but is panels. I just had a $9,000 roof put on, and panels are supposedly more efficient than the shingles.

But a $50,000 roof where you live? Sheesh. Either your roofers are driving really nice cars, or you have a really big house, or both.
