   For thousands of years, people throughout civilizations around the world have harnessed the sun’s immense energy to power their lives. The sun’s solar rays were used to cook food, and much later, to power calculators, increase the productivity of crops, and generate electricity for homes, schools and office buildings. This ancient practice is now experiencing a revival in American suburbia, as some homeowners have the chance to lease solar rooftop panels, with what’s being called a “residential solar lease.
