Post Rent Solar Power Reply with quote
Very Happy So what have you heard about renting solar panels to save on electricity? I did a little more research and they do have solar panels for lease to own as well.

More about this later

I never knew that you could lease solar panels. This is a real game changer because most people are under the assumption that purchasing is the only way to go.

Smile Not only can you lease but you get a tax break for having them installed.

Post so what about teh batteries for storage Reply with quote
Se this is something I dont get. sure solar panels are great, but the storage batteries and tehir siposal are the problem. First these batetries costa fortune and seocnd when they fail to hold a charge they have to be disposed of which means chemicals and leeching and plastics and harmful heavy metals.
Id love to see a solar panel work direct but its doubtful they will have earth friendly battery banks.

and some places are suing custmers for using these. It seems a few energy companies sued customers for loss of potential income. Thereby, they argued that twith these peopel not paying for their total electric and opting for self production, their amounts that woudl have been paid woudl cause a losso f funds for providing electricity... its still in appeals.

Actually the price of high capacity storage batteries are not that high plus they are improving all the time

I would be very interested in knowing what part of the country has done this.
