Yes it was - basically the OP wanted to know if some items were so
expensive to maintain that it would not be appropriate to get them.

You said that in order for someone to determine whether an item was or
was not monetarily appropriate, one had to know about the installation
and maintenance of the item. I was disputing that.
So my assertion that the installation of solar panels did not matter
was intended just as an example of a piece of equipment for a boat
where there were no moving parts to go wrong so that maintenance would
not be a monetary consideration.
I don't think that when considering people's experience of whether
solar panels are a costly item in terms of maintenance that one needs
to know anything about the installation of the panels.
