Solar Payment Options

Explore Different Ways to Go Solar.

The right option depends on your property, electricity usage, priorities, the proposals available, and the terms offered. Availability and suitability vary. We help you review the options offered for your property.

Solar PPA

Pay for the electricity the system produces under an agreement with the system owner. Review the starting rate, any annual increases, contract length, and transfer terms.

Solar Lease

Pay to use a system owned by the provider. Compare payment terms, any annual increases, maintenance responsibilities, and options when selling your home.

Financed Purchase

Purchase a system using financing. Compare the cash price, financed price, interest rate, fees, loan term, and total repayment.

Cash Purchase

Purchase the system upfront. Review installation cost, expected production, warranties, and ongoing ownership responsibilities.

What We Compare

Look Beyond the Monthly Payment.

A lower monthly payment can come with tradeoffs. We help you weigh the full picture before choosing.
