As long as the bond issuer remains solvent. How much do you trust bonds that yield 9% to retain their full value for 25 years?

"Another way to look at this is that the investment is returning ~9%/year."
EDIT: Two more things that will juice the return
1. Grid electricity prices will go up over those 25 years, at the very least tracking inflation.
2. Unlike bond coupon payments, the "return" from a solar installation isn't taxable. Because you're saving money, not getting paid.
