When will solar energy be cost effective for the average residential member to install?

Every year the cost of solar ener­gy sys­tems decreas­es. Even with these decreas­es, the cost jus­ti­fi­ca­tion is heav­i­ly depen­dent upon gov­ern­ment tax cred­its. Present­ly pay­back ranges between 9 and 12 years, but this could change dras­ti­cal­ly if incen­tives were to increase or decrease.
