Getting solar at the house

[gnihcraes]

The system itself should last at least 20 years. With Solar City, you sign a 20 yr contract and during that time, they'll warranty and service the system. If forces of nature cause damage to the panels, homeowners insurance should cover that damage.

Solar City says they insure the house and equipment too, and service it if there is damage or lack of performance. They pretty much take care of the whole solar system, 100%.

You're paying on it for 20 years and a 2.9% increase each year I believe. (still less than Excel)
You're not going to get the incentives for going solar, I believe they keep those.

I'll get a double check on everything in the morning when I meet with the sales lady again.

Please let us know how your meeting goes. I don't want to get into politics and all that, but I'm very interested in this whole concept.
