You also have to factor that in. The solar lease company should have data on historical electric utility rate hikes (hint: they jack up the price on a regular basis).

Some solar leases gradually increase the monthly price you pay as years go by and some don't but neither will increase as much as the electric rates that utility customers will end up paying. So you got that going for you. Which is nice.
