I liken it to a smarter way to waste money. I can upgrade my home theatre, buy more toys for the car, buy a new car or just be a little more environmentally responsible.
Plus, it's ultimately portable and expandable. I can take it all down and move it to a new house, I can add batteries (not environmentally responsible, I know) and live "off the grid". There's a lot of choices to be had.
Solar panels (the good ones) are normally warranted in excess of 20 years on the larger panels... that's 80W per panel or more. I don't min investing when I can haul them from house to house and make each place more self-sufficient.
