Savings

Affordable solar is more of a reality than you may think! The system owner typically sees a 4-7 year simple payback on their investment which is why we believe that direct ownership of a solar system is the best investment our customers can make.  With the new Solar Loan available, going solar has never made more financial sense. With direct ownership, YOU take the tax & energy credits, not the leasing company. As a result, most of our customers are cash positive at the end of year one!
