Whatever you do to get your panels. Do NOT do a PPA. Came across a house that had solar with a PPA. You pretty much don’t own the hardware, and if you have to work on your roof you’re screwed (you’re responsible for all fees for removing them)

All tax credits, rebates, benefits go to the solar company and you pay per kw/h a fixed rate that increases every year. The house we looked at, the price per kw from the solar “owner” was higher than the current normal electric rate. So there was zero benefit to the home owner.

And it was a 20 year agreement.

Might as well try and sell a radioactive house.

Thank you this was the mess I was looking for. Lots of cute houses with solar but I get calls for that scam shit every day in Florida

Yes, reiterating what you say - beware of PPAs! Friend's neighbor couldn't sell their house because of the agreement.

If you see the person in Home Depot trying to sell you a solar system, ask about the PPA first!
