[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it depends. My first house, we leased. Signed a contact for 25 years. Then decided to move. The new buyers had to agree to keep solar or we could remove for a huge penalty. Basically for cancellation of the contract. It was very stressful.  We did sell and the new buyers agreed to the panels but it was very stressful. This we 10 years ago when solar was relatively new so many people did not know about it. 
We vowed never to do solar on our new house.

But, we recently looked into buying panels. With all the state and federal tax credits in Maryland, it is a much better option for us to own. Our panels are also on the back of the house and will produce 100% of power we need. [b]You do not want to over produce. Selling power back to electric company is not really a good deal.[/b]  We also for esthetic reasons did not want any panels in the front of the house. You can have a company come out and look at your roof and ensure it is structurally sound to support all the panels and determine how many panels you need and how much you can produce.  Good luck![/quote]

So much great info here, thank you! I'm really curious as to why selling power back to the electric company isn't a good deal. I'll research that on my end - I'm in Southern California (by way of Bethesda  :) ), so will look to see what SDGE says about this.  Thanks![/quote]
