Is $60,000 to buy out existing solar lease at 5-year mark a fair price?

Project Details

The homeowner inherited a solar lease from a previous owner and is attempting to buy out the system at the 5-year mark. They are disputing the buyout price, claiming the company used a pre-calculated prepayment figure instead of the contractually required independent appraisal for Fair Market Value (FMV).

Quote Details

- Purchase of existing in-service photovoltaic solar system - Price based on Sunrun's internal Fair Market Value (FMV) calculation - Includes estimated future revenue/prepayment discount price - System age: 5 years
