Anyone done the math on investing Solar panel money in the market vs. the savings on Electricity bills? Wondering how that came out for you?

( www.reddit.com )

Anyone done the math on investing Solar panel money in the market vs. the savings on Electricity bills? Wondering how that came out for you?

Today I asked for t…
