Does anyone have solar on their rentals? What's your experience?

Most of my rental properties are duplex and fourplexes. Sometimes they come where there's only one house account for the whole thing. On my biggest one I'm having Iowa Solar install solar on it. What's your experience charging tenants an extra utility fee? Do many tenants resist it, kind of like people want "Free Shipping" would they expect "Free Utilities" or should I be adding a $50-$100/mo utility surcharge into my future leases on this property?

Unless its cost effective, or personal residents, I find it not necessary. I think its too much of a upfront cost. The less money we can put in the and still make money, the better.
