 Paying cash for your solar system means that you recoup the most savings over time. This option allows you to pay around 6 cents/kWh over 25 years.

 Paying cash for your solar system means that you recoup the most savings over time. This option allows you to pay around 6 cents/kWh over 25 years. If the utility froze rates today for the next 25 years, you'd pay 20 cents/kWh. If utilities raised rates at the same pace they did over the last 10 years, you'd pay 36 cents/kWh. If you don't go solar, you just have to decide why you want to pay the utility monopoly 3x or6x the amount for the exact same product. Either way, you'll be paying a lot more instead of paying a fraction of the price, discounted some 75% off retail pricing for energy. 

The homeowner assumes no debt, no financial liability for any of the equipment, no down payments. It's the simplest, most immediate, and risk-free way to get solar savings.

The homeowner assumes no debt, no financial liability for any of the equipment, no down payments. It's the simplest, most immediate, and risk-free way to get solar savings. The solar company uses the roof to generate electricity, and sells it back to the homeowner at a discount. The lease transfers to the new buyer in a home sale. This can lower your monthly bill 20-30% immediately, with an annual increase of up to 3.5%. Don't forget, if you have to replace your roof, you'll have to pay around $6k to the solar company to take down the panels and put them back, which can zap your solar savings significantly in the first 15 years.

Solar loans generally present two options, a low monthly payment if you donate your 30% tax credit to the lender within 18 months, or a high payment option if you keep the tax credit for yourself.

Solar loans generally present two options, a low monthly payment if you donate your 30% tax credit to the lender within 18 months, or a high payment option if you keep the tax credit for yourself. Just keep in mind that behind your loan payment is an amortization schedule that applies most of that payment towards the interest for the first decade or so. If you sell your home, you may owe a higher balance on the loan than you thought. If you selected the high payment option so you could "keep" the Investment Tax Credit at the beginning, the loan company will ask you to return that amount as well.

Most of us have been trained our whole lives to simply flip on a light switch and probably autopay our monthly bills.

Most of us have been trained our whole lives to simply flip on a light switch and probably autopay our monthly bills. Since you don't get to choose your utility monopoly in Florida, you are obligated to pay whatever ransom rate they get approved by the 5-person Public Services Commission. Going solar is like having an option to buy electricity from a much cheaper source. If you had to turn on a switch to electrify your home each day, which one would you pick? The one that says DISCOUNT or the one that says FULL PRICE? The choice is pretty much that simple.
