Really wish I had a hurricane or "interesting weather"... you know, something to prevent me from taking an hour-long walk with my dog, make it a pain to pick the last ripe tomatoes, tomatillos, and peppers of the season, etc.

Wasn't New England supposed to have complete grid failure a month back? And then non-stop 70 dews? And then? And then...
You are Straw Man personified.
Solar has a 30% Federal Income Tax Credit that is useable/can be rolled over through 2035 I believe (and then would get extended along with the program itself assuming it gets another life in some capacity). Additionally, states (in my case RI) offered rebates up to $5k off the top. Overall, about a 7 year ROI if you get a good market rate on the project - and that's just the breakeven on the electricity. The panels themselves have lifespans well beyond that, so it can certainly raise the home value in and of itself (nice to sell a several thousand dollar benefit to a prospective buyer).
2.5" down, huge flakes in EG, RI about a mile from the bay. Hardest it has come down since 5AM - not sure how it compares to some of overnight. Changeover could be soon, but at the current clip I expect to see 3" when done accum.
