Purchase vs. Leasing Solar
If you have decided to shift to a more sustainable energy option, you are making the right choice. One of the most common questions that we receive from our clients often is whether it is best to purchase solar panels or lease them. There is no clear-cut answer to it. Even though both options help you save money every month and have a smaller carbon footprint, the option you pick will affect the total amount of money you save over the entire life of the solar panels. At Crown Roofing & Solar Company of Wichita, we have partnered with a number of leading lenders and financers to allow our customers in Wichita, Kansas, to have access to both solar loans and leasing options.
Solar PV system Purchase vs. Lease Comparison Table
Purchasing | Leasing | |

Initial Investment | Solar panels cost anything between $15,000 and $30,000, and usually, companies ask for $1000 as initial payments. But cash rebates and incentives can reduce the total cost by up to 50 percent. | You can get solar energy systems are little to no down payment. But, you will not qualify for any rebates, incentives, or tax credits when you lease solar panels. |
Monthly Payments | Loan payments are higher than monthly lease payments, but in most cases, borrowed money can be deducted from your future tax returns. | Lease monthly payments are lower than the loan payments, but you won’t be able to take advantage of credit benefits and tax returns. |
Future Value | The solar PV system’s value depreciates with time, but the cash value will be yours to use. Solar PV system increases the value of your house should you decide to put it on sale. | The future value of solar PV systems won’t affect you financially. But, leasing a solar PV system can make it difficult for you to sell your house if you are still in contract with the solar company. |
Early Termination | Since you are the owner of the solar panel system, you can sell it or even get rid of it when you want. | Systems are 100% transferrable. After a certain leasing period, you have the option to purchase it. |
End-of-Term | Not applicable | In most cases, leases are 100% transferrable. |
Solar Battery System | You can add a solar battery storage system to your existing solar PV any time you want. | The decision to allow a solar battery storage system will depend on the leasing company. |
Maintenance | Since you own the solar PV system, you are responsible for its maintenance. | The leasing company guarantees the maintenance and performance of the solar PV system. |
