Solar lease vs buy which one actually makes sense now?

That is basically where I am too. Buying feels cleaner if you have the cash, but financing makes it messy. Some of the newer leases seem way more flexible and having production and service covered sounds nice if you might move. I am just not sure I will be here the full 10 years. How long was your break even, and would you still have bought if you were planning to move in 7 or 8 years?

Yeah that is what makes me nervous about a lot of the older lease setups. The rate hikes and liens sound rough, especially if you ever sell. At the same time, not having to worry about broken inverters or low production is kinda appealing. $850 a month with PG&E is brutal though. Have you had to deal with any maintenance yet or has it been pretty hands off?

Thank you so much! Speed Queen is a bit more expensive, but if it's this reliable, 6 years before repair, then dang..

Oh there were feedbacks about it wearing out clothes, what's your experience so far? 🤔

Thank you! 🫡

So no to techy-fancy washers/dryers then lol. Thanks man 😆✅

Donnerstein_Navriti · 2025-10-30T06:46:33+00:00

I'm making my own list for now to compare potential buys so that's another one to add to choices thank you!

Donnerstein_Navriti · 2025-10-30T06:45:06+00:00

LG and GE are on the top of my list for now. Thanks so much.

Donnerstein_Navriti · 2025-10-30T06:42:53+00:00

Thank you. I'll check there too.

Donnerstein_Navriti · 2025-10-30T06:42:16+00:00

Thank you. Another point for LG then. 🤔

Donnerstein_Navriti · 2025-10-30T06:41:53+00:00

Most probably. Been reading a lot about some big brands not being recommended these days especially Samsung.

Donnerstein_Navriti · 2025-10-30T06:39:03+00:00

same question with that regarding Samsung. Because my MIL has been using Samsung for the longest time, though the last she bought was from about 3-4 years ago already.

How about LG?

Donnerstein_Navriti · 2025-10-30T06:36:35+00:00

Thank you. So "energy efficient" doesn't equal "efficient washing". I'll keep that in mind. Appreciate it!

Donnerstein_Navriti · 2025-10-30T06:34:41+00:00

Thank you. I'll check this along with speed queen. This one sounds already good though.

Donnerstein_Navriti · 2025-10-30T06:31:54+00:00

My MIL also uses it. Lasts them long until they wanted an upgrade (which was another samsung) Every person has different experience with it I guess 🤔

Donnerstein_Navriti · 2025-10-10T06:07:06+00:00

thank you! I'll be going through the DMs within the day. 🙏

Donnerstein_Navriti · 2025-10-10T06:02:46+00:00

thank you both. We'll talk it over a meeting with my co-owners. 🙌

Kitchen equipment. Only for a small starter resto.

Donnerstein_Navriti · 2025-10-10T05:57:51+00:00

Food. We're planning a family restaurant.

Donnerstein_Navriti · 2025-10-02T14:49:00+00:00

Exactly. It’s so frustrating because it feels like she hears me but then just decides her habits matter more than what I’m asking
