savings.\\n\\n\\n \\tAnnual savings (X) = Monthly savings \\u00d7 12\\n \\tInvestment cost (Y) = Total system cost (after any applicable incentives)\\n\\n\\n \\tYou\\u2019ll often hear ROI described in two related ways:\\n\\n\\n \\tPayback period (years) \\u2248 Y \\u00f7 X\\n \\tROI ratio \\u2248 X \\u00f7 Y\\n\\n\\n \\tLower system cost + higher monthly savings = better

electricity consumption\\n \\tHow much of your usage happens during daytime (when solar produces the most)\\n \\tRoof design, shading, and available area\\n \\tEquipment selection and total investment cost\\n \\tElectricity tariff structure\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What factors affect ROI the most?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The three biggest ROI drivers
