It is true, the leasing complicates a sale somewhat if you plan on moving soon. That said here in Cali given PG&E's "less than stellar" reputation and incompetence (constant outages, causing fires, blowing people up with gas leaks) I would think a large % of people would be happy to be paying them nothing (or very little) and take over the attractive lease.
I could be wrong but I think it's more a positive than a negative in this case, as my rate is guaranteed and lower than current PGE costs, and that gap will increase as PGE is charging way more each year and my increases to the solar co are actually capped < inflation.
Worst case, it's easy enough to buy it out before selling if it's a problem. The system is 4% of the house value, at least that was my thinking... I should mention that cost includes guaranteed production (or panel replacement), free repairs, and a new battery after 10 years.. not insignificant.
