I went thru 13 different solar companies including Baker, Sunrun, Solar City and a handful of others. Several were former Solar City Employees.- they did not speak highly of Solar City's contracts. . It seems almost all only offer 2 plans, Lease or Buy. Few mention the option if they offer it of a PER-paid lease. Saves over 50% of the purchase price. and With this 20 year one time payment. your equipment is still maintained 10-15 years down the line. when the Inverter goes bad. { If you buy it ( most have a 10 yr Warr.) you are on the hook for replacement and labor.} Sungevity did have some installation in the growing stages as they could not find good workers. it got much better now. <br />Many Solar companies try to get you to BUY to get the 30% credit., If you don't spend the extra to buy, you don't need the credit. The Credit is only on the next 2 years tax return. NEVER back as cash. You still pay Full price to the Solar company.
