There are $0 upfront costs when you choose to finance or lease your solar system. You won’t need to make any payments until after installation, and, in many cases, your monthly payments will be lower than your current electric bill. This means you can start seeing a return on your investment from day one while enjoying immediate savings.

Net metering allows solar customers to receive credit for the electricity they generate and send back to the grid. Essentially, when your solar panels produce more electricity than you need, the excess is sent to the grid, and you receive credits on your utility bill. These credits can then be used to offset the electricity you consume from the grid when your solar panels aren’t producing enough electricity, such as at night or on cloudy days. Net metering essentially allows you to “bank” your excess solar energy for later use, helping you save money on your electricity bills.

Because your system is tied to the electrical grid, it’s designed with an automatic shutoff switch to ensure no electricity can flow from your panels into the grid, making it safe for electrical workers to troubleshoot and repair utility equipment when the power goes out. If you add backup batteries, you’ll still be able to power essential appliances and lights in your home in the event of a power outage.

The Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is a federal incentive allowing homeowners and businesses to deduct a portion of their solar energy system installation costs from their federal taxes. It functions as a dollar-for-dollar reduction in federal income tax. In August 2022, Congress extended the ITC, raising it to 30% for installations between 2022 and 2032. It’s essential to consult with a tax professional to ensure you understand the specifics of how the ITC applies to your situation and how to claim the credit correctly.

Because there are no moving parts, solar panels require little to no maintenance for 25-30 years. In the rare case that a panel becomes defective, most manufacturers will replace the panel under their warranty.

If you sell your home before your solar loan is paid off or lease is over, your lender can help you transfer the balance of the agreement to the new homeowner. Another option is to add the value of the balance of your solar agreement to the asking price of your home and use the proceeds of the transaction to pay the system off. Overall, selling a home with solar panels is a relatively straightforward process, but it’s important to understand the implications and communicate effectively with the new homeowner and relevant parties involved in the real estate transaction.

The time it takes to start saving money with solar depends on various factors, including the cost of the solar system, your electricity usage, local utility rates, available incentives, and financing options. In many cases, homeowners can start saving money immediately because there are zero out-of-pocket expenses, and their payment for solar is less than what they would be paying to the electric company.
