Many homeowners signed up for leased solar PV systems, rather than buying them outright. Over the years, many companies have gone out of business and their rooftop solar PV systems are no longer connected to generate power.
Rooftop Solar Power Has a Dark Side | TIME
My solar PV system is a purchased system, wholly owned by us, and was installed by Intermountain Wind and Solar. I was impressed with everyone I interacted with at IWS, as well as with Pacific Power, our local utility. Everyone was knowledgeable and helpful. The system is almost 4 years old and runs flawlessly.
