I Bought a House with Solar Panels
We bought a house with TPO panels from SolarCity. It&#x27;s been ... ok. Our monthly payment never goes up for the life of the lease and SolarCity sends us a check if the panels ever don&#x27;t produce enough. They provide 100% of our electricity and we generate excess that the power company pays us a tiny amount for.<p>If I could do it again I&#x27;d get a house without TPO panels. If for nothing else, just one less variable and thing to consider. You can always get panels later.<p>But I gotta say, SolarCity themselves were an absolute nightmare to work with. The person who got the panel deal on our house (two owners ago), has two other panel deals with SolarCity on two other houses. When we took over the lease SolarCity basically just munged all of the account details together. A major red flag went off when they asked if I&#x27;d like to pay my bill with my Wells Fargo account. I don&#x27;t have a Wells Fargo account. For over a year I had to fight these morons to get everything squared away and to finally get my account onto their online portal so I could pay online. Every single month they tried to either charge me for the other systems, or have the other guy pay for ours, and with each other&#x27;s bank accounts. They told me to not make any payments until this was resolved, but also told me they&#x27;d send me to collections for non-payment. It was an absolute nightmare. Don&#x27;t ever work with SolarCity.
