Condo manager wants to go into the solar energy business

Our managing agent wants our New Jersey condo association to put solar panels on our clubhouse roof. He claims that we will see a result in decreased utility bills within 4 years. In the meantime, he will own the panels, get the tax break from the depreciation, since we are not a corporation. We, in turn, lease the panels from the managing agent and pay him a monthly fee. In 10 years we have the option to buy from him or continue to rent the panels. He also gets the S certificates, we do not. They are trying to "ram" this down our throats. I am against this because we are not in the business of brokering electricity and the gain is iffy, at best. Any comments?
