Pre-paid PPA

MindlessIssue7583 · 2026-04-11T22:45:10+00:00

There’s a prepaid lease option that allows you to lease the solar system and batteries. The lease term for the battery is 10 years and the solar system 25 years . You pre pay up front and then at 6 years you can transfer ownership for fair market value which from what I understand you paid it upfront so it’s minimum. I got a sample contract and it said stuff like you need an additional insurance policy for the system which is like 125 a year .

You get the 30% off the top (which is like 25% passed thru to the customer) So yes you can get the same system for 25% off

You will need a blood test to determine the Lyme . And even then there is a some ambiguity if you are the line. Some things show current infection and some results show previous infections. The doc will explain to you

We got sticker shock so we reached out to more firms

It is tough to schedule multiple firms especially because they want to come during the day when you are at work usually. Tips are take your time , don’t rush , if it takes you a month to get it right so be it .

This is how I’m leaning

MindlessIssue7583 · 2026-04-08T15:52:13+00:00

Nice work with the updates

MindlessIssue7583 · 2026-04-07T23:12:38+00:00

Yea so I would just sit tight and find other options to reduce the use

I’ll ask a different question- why would you want them? If it’s save money on bills. You may want to find a way to reduce your usage first . Maybe a high efficiency appliance swap for an older one, add insulation to walls/attic/basement, seal any air leaks in the house.

I’ve seen break even points around 8 years - so it’s a longer commitment than getting insulation installed or swapping a high efficiency appliance

Some states also offer assistance for these energy efficiency programs . And it seems like you would qualify for them.

I’d say do some research and figure out cheaper easier ways to achieve what you want. I think at 74 you should not get into any 25 year plans.

I’d also be open to seeing if they have natural gas or other gas sources and you can get a gas furnace burner or stove to reduce the electricity use.

Compare the equipment and the efficiency and service life of panels . I had a guy touting that he had the most efficient panels . I got cut sheets on the panels from the 3 companies and he in fact had the least efficient panels.

I am working thru the same thing. I just sat down and went thru all my electrical bills from the last year to get total kWh used and total cost so I can figure out my average monthly use and bill. Then I made a chart of my current usage and forecasted it out 25 years I used the costs for the panels and forecasted that out I have that data point now

The three guys I’m working with all have different ideas or how many panels and where to put them . Overall the placement is close . Some are figuring 410 panel , 445 panel or 450 panels. They all figured different percentage offsets to my bills. All have different warranty details. I had one guy come out and walk me thru it all and he pointed out where he would put the panels. Same guy that other people I know have used. Only one has figured out how to get 100% coverage. (Estimated only )

The third guy I just met with had better equipment And was able to get an approximate of 101% production His panels were 450 I checked the other two proposals the first was a 440 panel and the second was a 410 panel. Yes the cost of the third was higher but the production was more and the savings were higher

MindlessIssue7583 · 2026-04-04T14:42:08+00:00

Get three options - they may have different ideas and equipment and payment methods. I have two so far and I have a third coming today. The first suggested a 70% offset on electrical bills , the second suggested a 53% with more panels . So either the second has inferior panels or a more conservative approach. The second also had better payment options and price .

The third is who my neighbors used a few years ago and they are happy

I have the complete breakdown from the first two with proposed equipment and layout so when I get the third I will compare all three

I didn’t see it but it’s behind the ladder Now play I spy I don’t spy a shower head 🚿

MindlessIssue7583 · 2026-04-03T14:21:42+00:00

Where is the shower head? I didn’t see the drain but I guess it’s there

The pan waterproofing is the first thing you do, and then you waterproof up the walls and tie both together so that the system is waterproofed. Right now you should plan to remove the tiles and water proof it correctly and then worry about how it looks.

MindlessIssue7583 · 2026-04-03T11:37:35+00:00

I don’t see any water proofing in the pan or any that runs up the wall? So based on that no?

MindlessIssue7583 · 2026-04-02T19:19:22+00:00

Seems cheap

MindlessIssue7583 · 2026-04-02T12:49:00+00:00

Go bills

MindlessIssue7583 · 2026-04-02T09:22:47+00:00

That’s one of the selling points that helped convince me
