I didn't buy the panels....

They system I'm putting is basically a replacement to PGE, our utility company, even though you do stay connected to PGE.

They put in the panels then I pay them for the power... at a greatly reduced rate than PGE charges. I've done the calculations and when the system is approximately 6 years old it will have depreciated to the point where I can then buy them to maximize my investment maintaining a reduced power bill for the life of the system. - JamesJM
