The financials on this are amazingly good--the IRS refunds 30% of the cost of the system on tax day (going down to 25% next year), then you save thousands of dollars per year after that. My whole system will be paid for in 6 years, the annual return on investment is ~18%

I think the dynamics change with electric baseboard, but, yes, solar would help defray costs over time. I'll be investigating the costs of having NG run to my house--it's at the street--vs. going to electric heat pumps/mini-splits.
