Silverback Contracts · Solar lease

Your solar lease, read before you sign it.

A solar lease or power purchase agreement usually runs 20 to 25 years and follows the house. The salesperson talks about savings. The contract talks about what you owe.

What people miss

Three clauses to check before you sign

A payment that climbs every year

Escalators of 2 to 3 percent a year are common. Run the payment out to year 20 and compare it with what the panels are promised to produce.

Selling your house with panels on it

Check what a buyer must do to take over the lease, and what you owe if they will not. Some agreements record a notice on your property records that shows up at closing.

A production promise with no remedy

Look for a production guarantee and what you get when the system falls short - a refund, a credit, or nothing.

The clock

If the solar contract was sold to you at your home, federal law generally gives you three business days to cancel. Many states add more.
