I’ve been researching energy options… solar energy has always intrigued me, but I’ve never really looked into it until now. I’ve noticed a lot more houses with solar panels on their roofs than I’ve ever seen before .

This article compares two different people in the same neighborhood who took very different approaches to going solar… One of them is leasing the panels for twenty years and the other bought them right out.

The article failed to take into consideration the opportunity cost of the $35k immediate outlay of cash and how the resale value of the home is effected…. A new owner may not be interested in a long term commitment with the solar panels. I’d like to see an article or even a follow up to this one addressing these two concerns ..
