Solar Financing Options Explained

Understanding your financing choices is the first step to making a confident decision. Here’s how each option works:

Cash Purchase (Own)

Maximize your long-term savings by purchasing your system outright. No interest, no monthly payments, and full ownership of all incentives and energy production. You pay the total cost up front and own the system from day one. This option delivers the highest return on investment over the life of the system.

Solar
Loan

Own your system and build equity from day one. Solar loans let you finance the full cost of your installation with fixed monthly payments, often lower than your current electric bill. As the system owner, you may qualify for applicable state, utility, and local incentive programs, depending on your location and eligibility. Financing features may include low fixed rates, zero-down options, flexible payment terms, and no prepayment penalties (subject to lender approval).

Solar
Lease

Go solar with zero upfront cost. With a solar lease, you sign a lease contract and pay a fixed monthly amount to use the energy your panels produce. The lessor owns the system, and maintenance and monitoring are handled for you. This is a simple, hands-off option for homeowners who want savings without ownership responsibilities.

Find the Best Option for Your Budget

our ideal financing path depends on a few things: your monthly energy costs, how long you plan to stay in your home, your tax situation, and how much you want to invest upfront.

RxSun’s solar consultants will review your utility bills, explain what each option means for your household, and present a custom proposal with an accurate solar panel installation quote, typically within 2 business days. Your proposal includes the appropriate system size, standard equipment selection, and applicable incentive programs.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. But there is a better-fit option for your home, and we’ll help you find it.
