Also, check to see who their top producers are in the office. 

At least by deferring, we could have two income producing assets to help fund retirement instead of one.

Figure out how much sun the property really gets and what the panels would really produce before letting a solar salesman tell you it'll wipe out the power bill.As for the bonus depreciation I do know that the solar system (not just the panels but the supporting systems as well) would qualify for accelerated depreciation on a rental.

Have you done DCR to make sure the amount you refi into will still produce good ratios for banks to feel comfortable in doing this deal?

@Rafael Campos if you have tried both which produced the best results?

Not sure what your market looks like but mine looks to be slowing and I wouldn't want to leap into a no job situation in a slowing economy/market and not have a track record and already have income producing assets or have proven you can make a living on flips or commissions.

Lots of fraud with people trying to buy property with little or no down payment producing falsified documents showing they made a down payment years ago when the bough on contract for deed.  

The reports they produce will help you understand the ROI. 

An appraisers median income is however higher than an agents at about $55k.So on average, an appraiser will make more money than an agent, but top producing agents likely make a good deal more.
