Reply to comment by SolarGuyInMaine in Big Push to get folks to sign up for solar power and save "up to 70%" For those who have signed up, what are your savings? by doggyfishbird
> If you don't own the array, on your own property, I wouldn't sign a contract with terms greater than 12 months. A lot of these huge ground mounts are being installed by out-of-state companies that have no permanent investment in Maine.
What does this even mean? Do you think they are going to rip out the panels and take them to New Jersey?

No, but that conjures quite the image! 😂
I'm more concerned with lease agreements, or any long-term agreements. There simply isn't the same accountability as an array that you own. Fields can be bought and sold as a product by faceless entities, which muddies the waters in regard to who is responsible for what.
Conversely, when you have solar at your home, no one can change the terms of your system. You simply own that system.

Except the legislature could yank back your net metering deal next Thursday if they want.
Which is honestly far more likely to happen than some out of state company exposing itself to massive class action lawsuits by breaching contracts with its customers.
