2. It really depends on how your local power company handles things.

When we got ours here in Seattle, it was well worth it to buy it. There was a 30% federal tax incentive, plus various state and local incentives, and other benefits. In some areas the market is dominated by entities that make it a better deal overall to lease. See if you can talk with other consumers in the area and see how things penciled out for them.

Do not go just by what any given company is telling you. Remember that they have an interest in having you use their particular method.
