I have had solar on my house for 10-12 years now but the saving grace is living in the sun belt. Arizona usually gets 350 days of sun per year and that helps.
My 6.6 kw system is enough for my 2100 sq ft house but could be a bit larger. Friends have more and end up selling the extra power to the grid. My system cut my electric bill by 2/3rds, with the neighbors paying about $700+ per month during the summer while my last bill was in the $200 range. I do run the pool in the morning when my electric is cheap and do all of the "heavy lifting" before noon when my power costs increase but overall am very happy with going solar.
