    If you have to replace your roofing, will they come out and remove the panels and reinstall them under the lease without extra expense to you?

    ETA: Found the answer; http://www.solarcity.com/learn/solar-faqs.aspx#a15

    What if my roof needs repairs after I've installed solar panels?


    Ideally, you should install solar panels on a roof that is in good condition. When a SolarCity site auditor comes out to inspect your building prior to installation, he or she will check to make sure that your roof is suitable for a solar installation. Once the solar panels are installed, they actually help to protect your roof from the elements. If you should ever need to make repairs on the roof, the solar panels will need to be removed and re-installed. SolarCity offers this service for a reasonable fee.
    So...hypothetically speaking, let's say there's a hail storm and 2/3 of your roof not covered by panels is damaged. Sounds like another expense.

    After the panels have degraded and they are finally paid for, you're stuck with them? No upgrades and another lease contract?

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.
