Going green may be great for your carbon footprint and your checkbook but what are the consequences of leasing solar panels? Complete financial control of your own home. That’s right! The lease contract that you signed may have fine print that makes it difficult to sell, refinance, get an equity line of credit or a reverse mortgage.

Selling your home can become tricky because the leasing company may have to approve the buyer.
