A cash purchase of your solar system is the best way to maximize your savings. Indeed, homeowners with the available funds to buy the system outright avoid financing costs associated with other payment options.

A cash purchase is equivalent to paying upfront for 25 years’ worth of the solar system’s electricity output, which is a big advantage considering rising energy costs.

Depending on where you live, solar incentives can help reduce the cost of your system by up to 70%. Our Energy Advisors will help you understand which federal, state, and local incentives are available in your area.

The solar loan is the most popular way for homeowners to purchase a solar system. It allows you to go solar with zero money down
and still qualify for all federal, state, and local financial incentives.

In most cases, the monthly cost of the solar loan is less than what you were paying the electric company, so you see immediate monthly savings.

U.S. Solar Energy can help you get started with a loan package that meets your needs.

With a lease, you pay a fixed monthly fee over a 25-year period. With a Power Purchase Agreement, you pay for each kWh that the solar system produces. In each case, you can expect to pay less than your current electricity cost.

If you lease your system, you are not eligible for federal, state, and local financial incentives associated with solar. In that regard, it is a great option for homeowners who do not have sufficient tax liability to take advantage of the incentives, and still want to reduce their monthly electric bill.
