Catering to residential and business customers, SolarCity's (SCTY.DL) leasing model has really been catching on. What it is able to offer is low-cost-power production that can often cost customers less than their traditional power bills. The fact that it asks for little to no upfront payments for the panels is added incentive for new business to join the ranks of its growing base.
