100% agree. I was looking at buying a new home out here in Southern California. The new trend is "solar" on the homes....but the problem is that you don't own the solar when you buy the home. Instead you sign a contract with the solar panel owner and either buy the electricity from them or buy the panels outright....for an additional lump sum of 20k+. When you go to sell the home....you have to get the solar company involved and a bunch of other hassles. It is a bad idea to set it up like this.
