$125,000, but that includes the roof.

If you figure my roof otherwise would have been $50,000, and subtract the tax rebate, it cost me $42,500 beyond a normal roof.

Subtract a whole house generator cost from there (which I didn't get because this serves the same function), and it cost me $30,000.

... and $30,000 is a pretty fast payback period with no electric bill, no gas/oil bill, all of our EV charge bill, and the electric company writing me checks every month.
