How is SolarPPA different than SolarLease?Our SolarPPA and SolarLease are both great options. They offer similar financial advantages to the homeowner. The primary difference is that with a lease you pay by the month, and with a PPA you pay per kWh. Another benefit of the SolarPPA is that you can purchase the system anytime after year five. Availability of SolarPPA and SolarLease vary by location based on what your local utility company prefers.
Please let us know how it goes. The idea of them replacing the roof just seems crazy. I must say that I'm now intrigued.
...anybody want to get me into a timeshare while I'm vulnerable?

I believe under the new laws IREA will have to allow solar on their grid.
I looked into solar last year and didn't do it because of IREA. I could have installed a system and used battery banks to store the reserve power but the added cost eliminated any real benefit. I'm planning to go solar as soon as IREA starts permitting it, I can't stand IREA and greatly look forward to no longer shelling out money to them.
Just got off the phone with Solar City. Apparently my roof panels are not conducive to their panels so they won't install panels on my roof until the roof is replaced. They also said that I don't use enough power for their panels so they won't install them until my usage increases.
Ours is 9.6kW. We averaged about $80/month or 750 kwh usage for what they based their calculation on. We would've been closer to $75/700kwh, but my wife left the xmas lights on 24/7 during the month of Dec, so our Jan bill was $135/1340kwh which bumped it up. Solar City said Xcel would approve a system that would provide up to 115% of average usage.
Looks like my roof is all T-lock or whatever that crap is that got discontinued so I can get it replaced via my insurance since it has hail damage on it. I am going to have to use my AC for the rest of the summer and not be shy about usage through the next year and then my usage average will be up for when I go through with the solar early next summer.
i am building a house and am interested in solar but i just am shy about the long term cost effectiveness. i mean how long will these things last? i know they pay for themselves after about 5-6 years.
