A payback number is only as honest as the four assumptions behind it. Here are ours, stated plainly, so you can argue with them.
Run those four against a typical 5 kW residential system and break-even lands in the four to six year range across most of North India, with the subsidy applied. Strip the escalation assumption out and the same system takes about a year longer. Strip out degradation and maintenance and you get the brochure number, which we do not publish.
If a payback estimate has no assumptions printed next to it, it is not an estimate. It is a hope.
