Agreed, they really push to try to do that, one thing is always true. Never ever ever ever lease a solar system.  The "buyout" price is more than new, and if you ever sell your house, the solar company has to approve the buyer and the buyer has to assume the lease (which is never a good deal, especially towards the end of the lease).  

By the buyout price being more, I mean specifically let's say you had 2 years left at $200 a month for the lease payment ($2400), a buyout price may be $3000.  Seriously. Wowza.
