What SC offers is a way for homeowners who are not flush to get something
in the way of renewable energy going. It you are just scraping by, you can
build a purpose made structure for PV, you may not even have the credit or
collateral for a $15k or $20 financed installation.
So yes it is lacks the greatest return, but the fact it is possible at all
makes it pretty wonderful. You simply agree to the process and your power
bill drops. You don't have to understand much - that means yt]ou can go to
work , or soccer practice, or your second job instead of researching PV and
rate schedules.
Not optimal? Not everyone can get optimal.

Hi Cor and All, Fact is as much as I like SC
leasing is very expensive compared to owning. SC makes almost ALL the
money though makes clean power which isn't bad. But the low
cost high profit way owning is far better with paybacks in many places
under 3, even 2 yrs or places like Hawaii, 1 yr. How is
cutting out all the parasites by buying the parts, kits from places like
sunelec/dmsolar and having a local electrician to permit, install or do
your own. This comes under $2k/kw. No reason to pay more.
Next don't put it on the house roof unless the only choice. Much better to
make a porch, carport, patio, awnings, shed, etc added value while avoiding
huge engineering fees and making it easier to clean, maintain and
install. Done right the added value of say a carport or shed
and solar system could increase the home's value several x's cost making
it very profitable from day 1. As for Tesla's battery it can
make a profit in places like Cal Time of Day pricing, other higher rate
areas, but really too costly. It needs to be under $200/kwhr and soon as
Tesla/SC makes the market, many other stationary battery types under that
price, many with unlimited life, will pop up. Sadly most
utilities don't understand how DG, home solar can work with them to lower
their cost supplying near pollution free power. US utilities are going to
keep shrinking, they have for yrs, and need to plan on generating a lot
less, transporting others power to make profit or they will go bankrupt as
few will keep paying more for polluting power when the solution is a phone
call away. Not just producing your home's energy needs but
freeing one from ever higher transport fuel costs with EV's as part of the
system lowers energy costs 50-75% with little pollution, is a hard to beat
energy future.Jerry Dycus
