They mention people will own them outright after 6 years. So it's free electricity from that point onwards.

You can also buy the system outright for $1850, which is solid for 800W and the professional electrician install they need for power sensing and anti-islanding requirements to prevent power from being fed back to the grid.

The panels are worth about $500, so you're mainly paying for the electrician in the above.
