In my home we have 2 installed. They are amazing. One thing to keep in mind if your production ends up with net meter credits to your GMP account these will not be able to be applied to the $55 lease fee and you will always be charged monthly for the 10 years of your lease if you go the monthly fee route. Beyond that we were told we will have the option to keep them for 5 additional years to their 15 year life span max for no additional charge. But, we’ll see in 8.5 years if that is still the case. Our installer was Tesla, a small crew out of chittenden county and they were great. No install fee. This was in spring 2021. I say go for it

I don’t have solar, so these would be pulling from the grid. No net metering concerns.

Presume if I pay the lump sum, the units go with the house if I sell it? Vs if I make monthly and the house sells the buyer has to agree? Or is it like the water heater - just something buyers accept?

I’m really appreciative of the feedback!

There is a lease cancellation fee of i think around $500 if the new buyers did not want to assume the lease through GMP and they would remove them. If you bought them outright and included them in the sale of the house then include the value increase on the list price. But yes I would ask GMP directly regarding if you were to buy them outright if you could remove them if you sold the house.
