Is $76,353 to lease 8 solar panels and 2 tesla powerwalls with panel upgrade a fair price?

Project Details

Purchased home in 2023 with fully paid off solar and a NEM 1 contract established in 2009. Currently pays nothing for energy as a massive exporter. NEM 1 expires in 2029. Looking to future-proof against SDGE rate hikes.
