Here is a good place to start thinking about pros and cons of a SL. Full article
Think of your sun-soaked roof as an asset that solar leasing companies want to get their hands on. The more electricity your panels produce, the more money these companies make.
Consider a solar lease as you would any major purchase: Be discriminating – never mind the fact that you may pay nothing up-front.
Compare a wide variety of quotes, then work the companies off one another to try to get a better deal. There are now numerous companies offering solar leasing deals, and competing for your business. Use this to your advantage.
Look into a solar loan as an alternative to a solar lease. Solar loans present may of the same benefits as a solar lease – except that you will own the system when the loan is paid off.
