Solar Panel Lease Or PPA:
- You are required to purchase the power generated by the solar panels, even if you move or take a vacation.
- If roof repairs are required, you’re obliged to pay the energy company to remove and reinstall the solar panels, as well as any power your panels would have created.
- In addition, the amount you are charged escalates, with an average annual increase of 3-5% APR per year.
- Home appliances and lighting are becoming more energy efficient! It’s likely that years from now you will need to purchase power from your panels that you won’t need.
