How to write a contract to share the purchase of solar panels?
My mother would like to install solar panels on her roof but I and my two sisters would like to equally share the purchase with my mother. We would like to share the income produced from the solar panels. How do we correctly write up a legally binding contract to make this happen?

This might be more complicated than you want to handle. Depending on state and incentive structure, you might need to set up a business or partnership between you so that you can share the money flow and the tax credits.
To find out the incentives and tax credits, check out the DSIRE homepage: http://www.dsireusa.org/
Wow!!! This mailbox is huge. Very sturdy and very inexpensive. We looked at a lot of mailboxes before we found this one. It’s bigger, heavier and costs much less than any we had seen in the stores. Very easy to install. Great buy!!!
I purchased this product with the idea that it would not be as described’ Boy:was I fooled. It is more than I expected for the price. It is well worth the money. I am glad i purchased it.
This really is a nice, large solid mailbox. I replaced a plastic mailbox with this one thinking that it would have a piano hinge type hinge. I would have prefered that instead of the 2 round pieces on the side that hold the door. I’m thinking that this metal box will still last longer than the plastic did.
At any rate, I’m sure that the mailman likes that it is bigger. I’m in a rural area and he has to drive up to the house with things that don’t fit in the box.
Sturdy, large and package-ready mail box for your home’s roadside. With more and more items being shipped to homes from Amazon, at al., the need for larger mail boxes fits right into the e-commerce world. Excellent buy with a dark green surface over metal. Buy it.
Although you can find good deals at your home center, this mailbox was reasonably priced at $32. It is made well. Also, it is big enough to fit all your magazines and other bulk mail. I love having this larger size mailbox. Looks really good too.
The sharing the cost part is not hard. The cost would include the [hopefully professional] install, including permits and fees. And you would share in the rebates. As far as any tax credits, most likely, only one person would take them, and would pay the equivalent of 1/4 of the amount each to the other two parties.
Now, the hard news. Solar is not a big moneymaker. It can save money, but it is more of a money *saver* than maker. In most states, the power company doesn’t write an actual check for the electricity generated – all they do is measure the net energy usage, and bill for that. So if a bill used to be $100 a month, and is now $40, it’s hard to determine how much of the difference was due to the solar panels’ input, and how much was due to plain old conservation. To be fair, you would need a separate meter to measure the solar panels’ output. Also, it is normal for solar panels not to break even for 5-10 years. And in some places, the panels will never break even.
I’m a big fan of solar, and we even have our own panels on our roof, but I would be leery of getting entangled with relatives over the revenues from a photovoltaic system. I would say, if your mother doesn’t have the cash to pay for the system herself, she should get a home equity loan. If no one will give her such a loan, I don’t think it’s a good time for her to get such a system. If she can get a loan, you and your sisters could loan her the money at below-market rates, with the solar system as collateral. I would guess that you would each be putting up on the order of $4000, and expect to get paid back perhaps $10 a month.
