Yes. More of the systems I price out have a breakeven of 3-5 years for solar. Basically pay the 3-5 years upfront and then have basically no power bill ever again.
To be free from the power grid has a higher breakeven cost, and only needed if a power grid is not readily available.

Maintenance cost will be much lower compared to traditional wind turbines. But compared to solar panels, which are maintenance free when installed at correct angles, they will require 'more' maintenance.

I think the claim is 50% more than solar per unit area.

Thanks.
We have our solar panels at about $1 per watt.
(This rate will vary by country)
