Be careful. That can be kind of a scam. Details vary, so do some searching about the pros and cons of the various contracts.

Thanks but I don't need to worry. I'm in a condo townhouse so can't put them in anyway.

Personally, I think filling empty neighborhoods with solar panels is probably a pretty ugly way to be, plus, I worry what happens when solar panels improve and we are left with tons of panels that are much less efficient and not needed all over the place.
