The only problem here is the dumb subscription model
I guess the hardware is just leased? That means the company gets all the tax credits…
They mention people will own them outright after 6 years. So it's free electricity from that point onwards.
You can also buy the system outright for $1850, which is solid for 800W and the professional electrician install they need for power sensing and anti-islanding requirements to prevent power from being fed back to the grid.
The panels are worth about $500, so you're mainly paying for the electrician in the above.
