Financing

Solar Loan Finance Options

Solar loans are similar to home improvement loans with one big difference. While you borrow money from a lender and pay monthly installments to repay for the improvement, the solar panels generate a return over its life that a traditional home improvement does not.

Solar Lease Options

A solar company installs a system with little to no upfront costs. You are essentially leasing the solar in exchange for the electricity the panels produce.

Solar PPA Options

A solar power purchase agreement (PPA) is similar to a solar lease in that you do not pay upfront costs for solar panel installation. You pay for the power that the solar panels generate at a cheaper rate than what your utility provider charges.
