Frequently Asked Questions

We want to make a contribution to cleaner air in Colorado. J&A Solar Leasing would like to see the day when there is no "Brown Cloud" over Denver.

Your cost is a percentage of the rate your electric company charges you. Right now that is about $10.00 a month per kilowatt of installed solar panels.

The current limit on residential installations is 10 kilowatts. We will match your system to your electricity usage and available roof space.

About 85 square feet for each kilowatt of panel installed. Depending on the slope of your roof, and how far apart we need to space the rows of panels, it can take up to twice as much space.

About 2 years according to some estimates.

Each kilowatt saves about 3,100 pounds of CO2 emissions per year. A typical system saves between 100 and 200 tons of CO2 emissions over the lifetime of the lease.

You then need to make a decision. You can either renew your lease for another 5 years, or you can purchase the system from us at the fair market value.

For you: nothing. The panels stay. Instead of writing checks to us you would simply write checks to the new owners. On the other hand, we'd be very sad.

It depends on when in the life of your lease this happens. If it has been less than 6 years since the panels were put on your house, you can either prepay for all the electricity the panels will produce for the remainder of the lease - or get the new owner to agree to take over the lease. If its been more than 6 years, you can prepay, get the new owner to take over the lease, or purchase the system from us for its fair market value.

We replace them or fix them. No worries.

Either your (or our) insurance company will determine who is responsible (or not), and pay the claims against the damages.

You will need to pay J&A Solar Leasing to remove, store, and reinstall the panels. This must be done in a timely way.
