I think Trump (as the shrewd business man you claim he is) should be able do better for you. Currently in Belgium and the Netherlands solar panels are no longer subsidized, to the contrary. In Belgium you have to pay a tarriff to be allowed to pump electricity back into the grid (and rightfully so). Even with that payout is less then 10 years, even with the cost of cleaning and the periodic replacement of the inverter taken into account. So why you can't do that in the US I don't know, but I'm sure you have an excuse ready for that
Although retired, I use to sell, install and maintain computerized energy management systems to commercial building owners. Ten year return on investment (ROI) would be very hard sell. They usually wanted no more than 5 years, preferable 3.
Residential homes is different as they seem to accept longer periods. I checked the web and it seems there's a 5-7 years ROI where I live here in New Jersey. I'm paying about US$0.10 KWH. But the 5-7 years includes federal and state rebates. Federal subsidies are suppose to stop in 2020. Not sure about NJ state subsidies. If the ROI went to 10 years if subsidies stopped, installation sales would drop dramatically I believe.
I think Netherland's non-rebates are the right way to go. These products should stand on their own. Also, in America, taxes for subsidies are unfairly paid by people who can't afford to pay for the installations. So the rich people who can, are getting money from poorer people who also then pay higher prices for electricity. That's not fair in my book. If you got the money to pay for an installation, pay a little more. Don't ask poorer people to pay for you by subsidizing your installation.
It's going to be interesting what Trump decides. Because of his campaign, he should favor imposing tariffs to protect American manufacturing like he said he would do during the campaign. But Americans installation jobs will be lost as people cancel higher costing projects. The estimate is 66,000 jobs lost out of 266,000. So they'll be more unemployed who have to find jobs. He's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.
