[Issue] Expenses [Lease] Nothing up-front. Pay monthly fee for 20 years. As electric prices rise over the next 20 years, even if just for inflation, should see a greater benefit each year. Depending on size of system, location, and your negotiating skills, you could see savings on your very first bill. The lessor pays for the inverter replacement and any maintenance costs for the full time of the lease. [Buying] 
Pay $30K-$55K and after first year rebates often get half that back. Then additional rebates for yearly production pays another ~25%. Additional maintenance costs (replacing inverter about every 10 years is $5K). With savings on utility bill break-even point is usually around 12 years, not taking into account the time value of money (your money you had to pay up front).
