According to reddit: * Never go with a power purchase agreement (PPA) or lease. * Solar loans are not really worth it (super high interest rate compared to home loans). * Installing yourself is doable, but as with all other contractors, best to compare installers. This requires some research beforehand. My rush journey to meet NEM2 date earlier this year in CA: 1) researching components (panels/inverters) based on /r/solar subreddit 2) picked a popular inverter manufacturer (Enphase) and went to their "installers" page 3) spammed 20-30 installers and compared the ability for them to meet the date as well as cost for the sizing/components I wanted 4) selected one installer and let them do the install. Before getting to (4) I did get a lot of "what you're asking for doesn't make sense" which I respected.
