Good thing I bought mine outright and installed myself. Saved me a ton of money.
Would like to know why so many are against the PPA? I get that it is probably a PITA when selling the home but-
I have a 20 year fixed price of $0.20 per kWh and have to buy everything it produces, currently it produces about 2/3 of my requirement. SCE charges $0.23, $0.59 & $0.74 respectively for tier 1, 2 & 3. I am never above tier one with the extra power needed from SCE, without this I would be in tier 3. I estimate I save about $1,200-$1,400 a year by having this. Once the 20 years is up, I can have them take it off at their expense. Original agreement was with Solar City which is now Tesla. I signed the contract in 2014 and cannot see any downside to this?
Am I missing something or are there other shady PPA agreements out there?
How fucked am I with the lease we were forced into with sale of our new house. Seems like a horrible deal to me. It was 21k to buy outright but we don't have the extra cash at the momentI spoke to the OP, kinda a crap situation, The company he's dealing with is a shell of another firm I'm familiar with..on its face it should be something they can come to a solution on..but ill wait to see his docs before putting the cart before the horse.
I've said it a lot on here. NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER sign a solar lease or PPA...with very few exceptions. I hate these things, buy it outright or finance with a no fee bank...the leases/ppa's get messy fast.
I've gotta respond to a few posts/pm's...its been a hectic weekend with the baby getting sick. Ill shoot you a pm in the next couple of days.How fucked am I with the lease we were forced into with sale of our new house. Seems like a horrible deal to me.

Anymore they go through a 3 hour boiler plate course in what their company wants them to know (whether is true or not), and are sent straight out to the streets. Those guys are very high turnover...
