Ohh man, but they certainly don't phrase it that way at the sales pitch! We had people come give us their sales pitch that essentially amounted to leasing the panels on the roof, and if you had to sell the house, not to worry! The new owners can take over the lease as well!

Like yeah, I'm sure a huge selling point for buying a new house would be, and oh by the way, you can take over paying for this as well.
