Solar Panel Financing
Solar panel financing allows property owners to install solar energy systems without paying the full cost upfront. Instead, the installation is funded through a loan or financing program, enabling immediate access to clean, renewable energy while spreading the investment over time.
This approach makes solar energy financially accessible, while allowing borrowers to benefit from lower energy costs, increased property value, and potential tax incentives or rebates.
How Solar Financing Works
With a solar financing program, the borrower receives funds to cover the purchase and installation of solar panels.
The loan is then repaid through manageable monthly payments, often offset by the savings generated on electricity bills.
In many cases, the energy savings can equal or exceed the loan payment, resulting in a net financial benefit over time.

Types of Solar Financing
-
Solar Loans – Traditional or green-specific loans for purchasing a system outright, allowing the borrower to own the panels and claim all incentives.
-
Solar Leases / Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) – The provider owns the system, and the user pays a fixed rate for the electricity generated.
-

-
Commercial Financing – Tailored solutions for businesses or investors installing solar across multiple properties.
