My home came with a solar panel and even before the change it's hard to see from a purely financial perspective why you'd do it. At least for what my house is set up with, unless I want to pay a huge sum to buy out my contract (and no longer get service if it breaks), I have to pay them by how much I generate and the savings seem pretty miniscule. It seems like it would take forever to make back your installation fee.
I guarantee you those installation and maintenance fees will go down once the new reimbursement rates go into effect. The price you’re charged is calibrated to how much money you are expected to save.
