This product has an unresolved issue with crashing and watchdog resets and is thus unreliable even in normal applications. See the RF/Wireless forum for more information.
Your calculation does not include the cost of storage batteries or an inverter, which is often about equal to the cost of the panels.
Xcel Energy says “A common size … for systems in Colorado is 2-3 kilowatts, and total payments to customers for this size would be in the $9,000 to $13,500 range … typical photovoltaic systems are priced at $8,000 to $10,000 per kilowatt."
However, a 2-3 kW system probably won’t cover your electrical needs, unless you are very frugal.
