Does anyone here have a solar lease? I'm a homeowner and it seems appealing but the opinions on it seem really muddy.
I would rather do a rent to buy imho, leasing will probably ham string you into buying it after the lease is up.
I monitor a solar panel installation using a Raspberry Pi that is connected to the inverter. That way I can check how much energy has been generated on every day/so far.

The company, which set-up the whole thing, also ran a couple of simulations beforehand and I am positively surprised that the installation actually produces more energy than predicted.

The whole project is live at http://solarpi.tafkas.net
