They do work well for a lot of people, not everyone everywhere but they do work great. My system would be worth it if I had not gotten subsidized. Some of that was speculation on the cost of electric going up in my area and the political environment which turned out to be a correct assessment.

I'm with you on everything else you said about nuclear!!!

I would argue you'd be in a better financial position had you taken the money invested/financed and put it (and monthly interest payments, if financed) into any number of othe financial vehicles.
That wouldn't offset any concerns about power availability or stability, granted, but a generator is relatively cheap. Mine was under $2k and nets me about 4kw when the wind knocks our poles down. I'll admit I have no idea how often power is unvailable in your neighborhood.
