zero out of pocket for a home solar electric system, True?
My almost 2 years old home solar electric system operates & produces electricity better than expected while my contractor still is in business and has helped me once at no cost ... this may not be representative of other experiences.
Below an email I got promises zero out of pocket for a home solar electric system. In the past, I looked into one such offer and found it to be a lease program where most of the profit and cash flow did not go to the homeowner but instead benefitted the solar contractor plus the financing lender. The below offer represents many such zero out of pocket type of advertisements in Southern California.
Be careful, a lease represents a homeowner's purchase and expensive financing rather than directly purchasing a home solar electric system directly from a contractor. The homeowner gets the system and the problems that may arise during a 25 year assumed lifespan of the system where an inverter replacement most likely will cost $8,000 (2 times the cost of $4000 as inverters have 10 year lifespans during the 25 year assumed use) and overtime the panels will produce less electricity (20% decline would not be unusual in 25 years of assumed use).
