Ten years ago, going solar was prohibitively expensive for the average homeowner. However, PV panel prices have fallen by more than 50% over the past decade — making the technology more affordable than ever. To help reduce costs even more, we help our customers qualify for generous solar incentives, including:
If you have the budget to do so, we recommend using cash to pay for your solar roof installation. However, we also provide low-interest loans to help you finance your solar energy system instead. With this approach, you receive the money upfront to pay for your solar installation. Then, you can use your monthly utility bill savings to pay down the balance until you own the PV system outright.
Equally important, your savings are locked in thanks to our real-time solar monitoring. The ability to track your system’s energy output allows us to intervene if your PV installation ever starts underperforming.
