Vito. No solar here.
I would like to see the numbers, the math, when someone says it will pay for itself in X years. Does the payback include paying interest on the loan you take out?
I invest in many things that make me money.
My latest investment is FDIC CDs paying 5.5%. You can get paid interest on a 6 month, yearly or even a monthly income.
If I put $40k in a 5.5% CD it will pay close to my total annual electric bill, $2100, and my house, garage and pole barn is totally electric.

How much does it cost to insure your solar panels?
Do solar panels add to your property taxes?

What do you do with your excess electricity?
Neighbor lost two inverts. That can't be cheap.

Solar may be a money maker, not sure.
As for me, there are too many unknowns, too much uncertainty.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
