Assuming that solar panels currently sell

Reference no: EM13541408

Assuming that solar panels currently sell for about $2.50 per watt of peak output power and that Xcel energy currently bills customers for electricity at about $0.10 per kilo-watt hour, how long will it take a solar panel installation to pay for itself? Note that this question requires some estimation and therefore can not be answered exactly.
