Buying a house with 17 years remaining on Solar City?

Buying a house with 17 years remaining on Solar City?

I live in Colorado and am looking at buying a house. The house is GREAT. The downside is that they have 17 years left on the SCTY lease. The rate they have started at $0.09 kwh. It raises 2.9% every year.

Colorado is a very sunny place, and they claim they've only actually paid their electricity bill one month. We currently live in an apartment building and our electricity is ~$40 a month. But this house has central AC and I assume it would probably be around double that.

I'm incredibly nervous about buying with this lease. The homeowners are arguing it adds value, but since they aren't owned solar panels I don't see how that's possible. And when I go to sell I'm worried buyers will feel the same way I do.

Two questions:

  • Does the price seem good? $0.09 kwh from Solar City. My last electricity bill was $37 for 306.6 kwh

  • Does this impact value as much as I think it does?

Thank you very much for your time.

Aurora Inverter giving E050 error randomly

Aurora Inverter giving E050 error randomly The message requires a reset to get the inverter working again, but it's random - may happen a couple times a day, may skip a day or two. I have checked every connection, and even inside the inverter where the DC gets connected (2 arrays running). I tried turning off each array independently, but it continued for both lines at the same frequency. The only possible point of spark generation would be the connector box on the roof, which has wirenuts from the arrays themselves to the cable to the inverter. They are tight, but I went ahead and wrapped them with silicon tape (didn't help). Could the inverter itself have a problem? It is an Aurora PVI-3.0-OUTD-US and I can't find anything else in their manual. submitted by /u/Oliver_Dibble [visit reddit] [comments] https://ift.tt/2IrhYav
