Had a look at a host of ROI calculators (this is purely an economic decision - I have a 4WD and a 2 stroke boat!).

So I built a simple spreadsheet which shows the potential ROI over each of the next 10 years. If you'd like to see it, go to http://www.bbbalc.com/ and click on the "Solar Panels" link on the bottom left of this page. It downloads a MS-Excel 2003 spreadsheet (trust me - no viruses!). It is set up for Qld rebates but easy to plug in your state's rebates. It works for me and my ROI kicks in before year 6.
