What is the parameter in Solar power that specifies the amount of time it takes to pay back your investment?

This is an awkward question.

So let’s say you buy a solar panel and it costs you $750, and at the current price of electricity (and other factors), it will take x years for the solar panel to SAVE you $750 on your electricity bill, thus paying for itself.

What is this phenomenon or duration of time called?

I guess you could compare it to “breaking even”, except you were not investing money for the purpose of making money. You were investing money for the purpose of saving money.
