Anyone here ever lease/get free solar system

[UserRemoved1]

YOU ARE INCORRECT SIR.

I have the option to buy the system at ANY time (with depreciation costs figured into system costs) and assume all the credits etc.

At the end of the PPA, THE COST TO OWN THE SYSTEM IS ON PAPER AS ZERO DOLLARS.

So what about .05/kwh instant savings on more than 1/2 of my electric bill for the next 20 years, a ZERO cost system at 20 years (panels are junk by then), and NO UPFRONT costs makes it "technically not free" to me?

I'm looking forward to this working out for you. The skeptic in me is with striperman36, there's gotta be a catch somewhere.

I must have missed your mention of that above.

With all that in mind, definitely seems like a no-brainer.
