The Legislature finds:

(2) Free-market financing may provide more customers with opportunities to install solar photovoltaic energy facilities;

(3) Installation of solar photovoltaic energy facilities will stabilize long-term energy costs making the state more attractive for industry and commercial investment;

(4) Financing arrangements, including those in which payments are based on the performance and output of the solar photovoltaic energy facility installed on the property of a retail electric customer, will help reduce or eliminate upfront costs involved in the investments and installation by the customers; and
