Default Home with a Solar System Lease; should I buy or not?

Assumptions:

1. The system is leased.
2. Net Profit/Loss I estimate to be a loss; meaning I pay more for system than what I save on electric based on average cost per kwh.
3. Cost of all payments over 25 years is $56k
4. No Batteries; so won't have power fail backup
5. Lease is assumable to new homeowner.
6. We love the home they are attached to.
7. Seller has reduced asking price by $20k

Asking the Hive mind if we should just go ahead and purchase the home; which we really love.

Thank you!
