Solar 101

Solar is not a one size fits all solution. Asking questions about your goals and specific situation is what allows you to make the best decision about a tailored solution for your home and your family.

 Solar Ownership

A great solution for those with a tax liability or who are in their forever home. You made the choice to own your home why not also own your electricity. Ownership comes with a bit more responsibility from the homeowner but the financial rewards can be well worth it. 2019 is the last year that the full 30% investment tax credit is available for individual home owners. Let us help you take full advantage of any incentives you may qualify for.

Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)

A Solar PPA is the simplest way to go solar. Have a solar company buy the equipment for you. They install, insure, monitor, and maintain the system for you. This is all done at no cost to you. What they ask for in return is that you buy the power the system produces. This is essentially the same way you are buying power now. A set cost per unit of energy (kWh). The reason it is better then simply buying power from the utility is that not only is the cost lower than what you are paying now but also it is locked in. That means that for the power the system produces you are no longer subject to the unpredictable rate hikes that we all suffer from the utilities.

Solar Leases

A solar lease is incredibly similar to the PPA. Again a solar company buys the equipment for you. They install, insure, monitor, and maintain the system for you. This is all done at no cost to you. The difference is that, instead of paying for the units of energy directly, you simply pay a locked in monthly payment and the solar company guarantees a certain amount of units of energy (kWh) per year.
