Somewhat off-topic. I&#x27;m all for solar, but there are some nasty practices out there with the &quot;free&quot; installs (lease). To maximize energy-harvesting potential, many &quot;free&quot; solar installers don&#x27;t seem to care at all about ruining the look of nice houses, for example stuff like this [1], reducing the value of the home and increasing the time to sell. 
There are many horror stories about unexpected liens on homes [2] preventing a sale and&#x2F;or refinancing. 
I&#x27;ll jump on solar as soon as they make affordable panels that resemble shingles (they exist, I know [3], but expensive)<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.greensunnj.com&#x2F;resource&#x2F;1430381659000&#x2F;Bad_Princeton_1" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.greensunnj.com&#x2F;resource&#x2F;1430381659000&#x2F;Bad_Princet...</a><p>[2] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;watchdog.org&#x2F;212170&#x2F;surprise-solar-liens&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;watchdog.org&#x2F;212170&#x2F;surprise-solar-liens&#x2F;</a><p>[3] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;cleantechnica.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;02&#x2F;08&#x2F;solar-shingles-renewable-energy-solution-curb-appeal&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;cleantechnica.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;02&#x2F;08&#x2F;solar-shingles-renewable...</a>
