I don't think anybody on the planet has enough information - to accurately say one way or the other - if alternative energy can pay for itself.
First, you'd need a crystal ball to tell you how much your power rates will be 10-20 years from now. Do you know?
One thing about alternative energy is - you get some level of independence and are not tied to the system, changing rates, and/or power outages. That level of security in itself has value to me.
At present power company rates, my system will pay me back in six more years. If they go up, payback will be even faster. Then it costs me nothing other then any future repairs I have to make. Was it overall cost-effective considering the true cost? Heck no. But what is when government is involved? I can only deal with how things directly effect me. I have zero control over the indirect effects done by taxes, new laws, and wasteful politicians.
One downside and little known fact is though - that during emergencys and long power outages, war time, terrorist attacks, etc. - FEMA is allowed do seize private systems like mine - all for the "greater good."

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
