I had someone quote me for solar panels on my house but I can't afford it. They were talking about how I have enough room and the perfect location to put many of them and actually get paid for it. I have about a half acre that is tiered and points in the correct direction for them to get pretty much the full day sun. Additionally, I live in so cal where it is sunny most of the year. Does anyone know if solar companies will lease or install them to get the payback? I would be happy to allow them to use the land just to cover my electrical expense and they could have any payback.

Hi, In the UK solar companies will fit them for nothing. The company gets the government allowance (called feed in tarrif FIT) and you get the benefit of the reduction in your power bills. The solar company make better money than the householder,BUT if the householder is in most of the day it could be most beneficial if the energy is used while the panels are generating, this means the householder is not paying for the power from the grid. If the householder works normally from 9 to 5 then there is less advantage in terms of getting free power from the panels. Best Wishes.
