Tesla will be releasing the Model 3 in 2017. If you and your wife both drive the American average, spending between $2,000-2,500 on fuel every year, buying a Model 3 each could greatly reduce the payoff of solar. As that would gain you $4,000-5,000+ per year in fuel savings.
Something to think about.

Very interesting. I hadn't thought about the interplay of panels with an electric vehicle.
Alas, we are far from typical, though. We drive very little, and our house is very vertical with a small footprint. We can't install many solar panels, so they would likely only cover perhaps one-third of our home's electric bill anyway.
