✍ Does it Matter If I Lease or Own My Solar Equipment

Sonny points out that solar generated power is always less expensive than power purchased by utility companies.

He goes on to emphasize that as the power companies continue to raise the rates, and your solar equipment cost stays the same until the end of the agreement you are ahead of the game just by having your own solar equipment.
