Comparing high priced solar power generation systems with regular home appliances, not just a few people are saying things like, “There is no financial latitude when purchasing and installing solar systems so that even if I would like to install such a system, it would really be hard for me to do this.” Also, in accordance with the lowering of the purchase price of electricity, the number of instances of giving up installation of PV systems for industrial use is increasing. Here, however, if there is an owner who would really like to participate in solar cell power generation, he can propose the option of roof renting. A person who owns a roof obtains rent by renting out that roof out for installing a PV system. The company then has a PV system installed, and sells the electricity produced.
