Solar Financing Options Explained

Switching to solar is easier than ever, especially with flexible programs that can reduce or eliminate upfront cost.

Understanding the differences between each option helps homeowners choose the path that best fits their goals, budget, and long-term plans.

OPTION 1

Power Purchase

Agreement (PPA)

A Power Purchase Agreement allows a homeowner to go solar without owning the system. A solar company installs panels on the home with no upfront cost — the homeowner agrees to buy the electricity the system produces at a set rate.

Considerations

The homeowner does not own the system. Long-term financial upside is more limited than ownership-based options. Payments may increase over time depending on the structure.

  • No upfront cost

  • Maintenance typically covered

  • Lower electricity rate vs utility

OPTION 2

Solar Lease

A solar lease allows a homeowner to use solar energy with a fixed monthly payment without owning the system. The solar company installs and owns the system — the homeowner pays a fixed monthly amount to use it.

Considerations

The homeowner does not own the system. Long-term savings may be more limited than ownership. If the home is sold, the lease may need to be transferred.

  • No upfront cost

  • Maintenance typically covered

  • Predictable monthly payment

OPTION 3

Ownership

Ownership allows homeowners to install a solar system and benefit from the electricity it produces over time.

Instead of relying entirely on a utility company for electricity, homeowners generate power directly from their solar system while maintaining the long-term value associated with ownership.

Many homeowners choose ownership because it provides greater control over energy costs and allows them to benefit from the electricity their system generates for years to come.

How Ownership Works

A custom solar system is designed around your home's energy usage and installed by experienced professionals.

Homeowners can either purchase their system outright or use available financing options that spread the cost over time.

Once installed, the system generates electricity for the home and can reduce dependence on utility-provided power.

Benefits of Ownership

  • Long-Term Value

  • Greater Energy Control

  • Predictable Energy Planning

  • Potential Home Value Benefits

⚡︎ OWNERSHIP

Flexible Ownership Options

Today, many homeowners choose ownership through financing programs that make installation more accessible.

Depending on qualifications and available programs, homeowners may be able to spread payments over time while maintaining the benefits of ownership.

Available financing options vary based on location, lender, and homeowner qualifications.

Is Ownership Worth It?

For many homeowners, ownership can be a strong long-term solution when:

  • Utility bills are high or continuing to increase

  • Greater control over energy costs is important

  • The homeowner plans to stay in the property long-term

  • The home has suitable roof conditions and sunlight exposure

Every home is different, which is why a consultation is the best way to determine available options and potential savings.
