    Solar can make sense for some people but it’s generally not a good idea.

    If you fail to reach break-even before you move (which is very likely) you’re gonna be out a lot of money.

    Solar sadly doesn’t add much, if any, value to a home.

    I wish there were more energy companies that would simply lease your rooftop, that way they could continue to build equity even if it switched ownership and the owner would benefit not only monetarily but also the energy company would be liable for maintaining the system (which is a nightmare in and of itself).
