What it calls “energy as a service”
Wut
Basically they have a financing deal for the rooftop solar that’s designed to have a lower monthly payment than the utility bill it displaces

In the US, yes. Other countries do installers competing against each other over install price, which ends up dropping cost to about 1/4 of what it is in the US.
