They must've paid for themselves many times at this point, even considering that in 1992 they had a much higher price than it costs now
Depends on how much they paid in the 90s. Panels were 10-20x more expensive back then. And it's a 1kw array so like 40mwh over its 30 year lifespan.
Aged like a fine wine!
Is that because the panels have been taking three-hour lunch breaks every day?
