Solar leases may financially burden homeowners, experts warn

A recent discussion highlights concerns about solar roof leases and power purchase agreements. Critics argue these long-term contracts can lead to significant financial burdens for homeowners, especially if they need to sell their homes. Many homeowners find that these solar systems do not significantly reduce their electric bills. Additionally, if the solar company goes out of business, customers may struggle to get support for their systems. Experts recommend paying for solar installations upfront rather than entering into payment plans. This approach is seen as a safer and more cost-effective option for homeowners.
