I remember seeing a piece on Bloomberg where they interviewed 2 guys that were running one of these companies. It seemed pretty obvious to me that they were just in it to charge the high interest rates, effectively setting up there own little loan operation with the panels as collateral. Probably better to buy outright if you can afford it. I would love to go solar, but even at todays low loan rates I think the utility companies can buy the electricity back at lower rates than they are charging the higher consumers. In other words I don’t think it really pencils out unless you have a high usage and can pay cash. So the rich and the marijuana growers benefit, as for the rest of us, we will have to wait. If I ever get a C-10 license then I will install my own, by then the ones they sell @ Costco should have the independent charge controllers.
