Leasing vs. Owning a PV System

摘要

For homeowners who want to transition to solar electricity, there is no better time than the present. 2015 was the biggest year ever for PV installations in the United States, and the residential sector in particular continues to grow at unprecedented rates. Falling PV module costs, rising electricity prices, and increased awareness of PV's financial benefits are making solar electricity an increasingly attractive option. In the past, high costs kept the majority of homeowners from installing PV systems. Many early adopters chose to go solar because of environmental concerns, or a desire to reduce their reliance on the electric power grid. In recent years, however, the solar market has opened up to an entirely new class of consumer. Today's potential PV system owners are also motivated by the prospect of saving money on their electricity bills and making a responsible investment in their home.
