Yes. However based on the scenario above, if I was a super good boy and "turned the house OFF" during production hours, it would take 22 years to pay for itself on the assumption I paid cash [ie, no interest costs], the rebate did not reduce or cease and power prices did not rise.

It's obvious that power prices will rise but I have yet to do a really comprehensive set of numbers and scenarios.

On the basic and probably "half truth", 22 years seems extraordinary.
