Solar works everywhere, it is a question of payback time. In cloudy areas, at the present cost of solar systems, the payback can be greater than 20 years. Lower cost systems are being developed and someday solar energy in cloudy areas will be a good investment.

  Yeah, and in some places it can be 3 years. So,.. it’s really about looking into the options in your area.
