We have a few solar PV homes in the Phoenix area. With better sun than most areas it produces more. The biggest problem is the habitat homes are not super efficient, they only meet minimum energy building requirements. If they put more insulation and a simple thermal barrier in the attic it would pay off twice as fast.
I know I used to volunteer on the building for a year. Passive solar pays off much faster than any energy use.
