A guy from Elon Musk's outfit, Solar City is coming out in a while to pitch me numbers on solar panels for the house. I've read the pros and cons of buying vs. leasing and am thinking so far about leasing.
To buy is still a huge outlay after the tax credits
Once you buy the system is yours, something breaks it's your problem.
Leasing is long term 20-30 years
No cash outlay up front, system is guaranteed for the term
I've read they are now offering a system incorporating their Tesla battery technology for power outages. A big issue here.
Not worried about the iffyness of a leased system on a home that may be for sale. This property will never be for sale in my or my wife and kids' lifetimes.

We'll see what he says. I am hoping he isn't planning on a water softener type sales pitch. Going to tell him from the get-go that I only have an hour free and do not plan to sign anything today. If he's not good with that I'll turn the dogs loose.
Any thoughts?
