Comment on Solar panels are gratis in my region. But 10× normal prices to buy. What’s going on here?

  I can only guess. I don’t think that could even be in contract. My guess:

  • another company buys it: the buyer takes over the contracts
  • liquidation: normally assets go to the creditors. But every homeowner is a creditor for the property in the future. So I think a reasonable court would just turn ownership over to the homeowner. OTOH, the energy company is also a party to the deal because the energy supplier gets the unused power. Perhaps the panels would be taken over by the energy supplier until the 30 year mark.
