Even with a tariff on panels, the cost of a solar installation, with incentives, is still significantly cheaper than grid electricity.
With federal and state incentives, my panels work out to about 4-5 cents a kilowatt hour. Normally I'd pay about 17 cents a kilowatt hour.
(This makes running a space heater cost about as much as running a natural gas furnace.)
Furthermore, my panels are financed with a fixed-rate loan instead of tied to market price of energy. That means the cost will never go up, but instead go to zero at the end of the loan.
