How would you assess if it is reasonable? If you did not live in the house BEFORE the panels where install , how do you know how much are you savings.

There is a house i really like but it has a solar lease on it. The NPV of what i have to pay for lease the remaining period is around $30K and i still need to buy out or renew after period expired. I read buying could be $15K-$25K before rebates and incentives. if i have the money to purchase, it doesn’t make sense to take the lease.

I only know one person that did not know the house she was going to buy had a lease until after her offer was accepted . She told buyer to buy out the lease to proceed with the purchase. Online, i read similar stories.

So, i am curious if this is the norm, or there are people (you seem to be one) that would take the lease and how would they assess it to be reasonable.
