Solar Financing Options

Financing with monthly payments is usually the most cost effective way to invest in solar.
In many cases, loan payments can be matched to your existing monthly payments to the utility company, which means if you have a $250/month power bill, perhaps a solar system can be installed for $250/month – or even less. An added bonus: interest on a loan may be tax-deductible, while nothing on your electric bill is!
