Paid somewhere around 38k for the system, including a 10kW battery. We use slightly more than we generate annually, but not by much. I don't think in terms of ROI. If I reduce the cost by the amount we paid for the battery, we'd be at around 28k. We did get the federal tax deduction when we purchased the system. I can't remember what that was.

I'd do it again and would advise anyone who asks to go for it.
