Solar Financing for Residential Projects

Solar power can be an excellent investment for your home, allowing you to significantly reduce or even eliminate your power bills and increase the value of your home. However, that investment isn’t small and frequently costs tens of thousands of dollars if you install a full-sized solar power system to meet your energy needs. That investment can be daunting to many, but if you’re committed to switching to solar power, our financing options can help.

PowerStore, Inc., has partnered with two financers to help our installers and their customers receive the financing they need for their residential solar projects. By working with GoodLeap and Sungage Financial, we can offer you more options for financing your project, so you can find the terms that work for you.

Pros and Cons of Financing Your Solar Installation
Many homeowners wonder if it’s worth financing a solar power system. Is it worth paying more, in the long run, to get a solar installation now? What are the benefits of financing rather than waiting and saving until you can pay for it in cash? Despite what many people may believe, the truth is that financing could be the better option in many cases rather than waiting to buy your system with cash upfront. If you’re wondering whether or not financing is the right option for you, here are a few pros and cons that you should consider when making your decision.

You Still Get the Tax Credits and Incentives

For the foreseeable future, there are Government tax credits and other incentives for installing solar, it’s worth noting that you are still eligible for them, regardless of whether you pay in cash or get a loan for your system. Your incentives are calculated based on the total cost of your system, not on how much you pay for it upfront. Financing your system can allow you to collect the entire incentive amount for the year you install it before you’ve even paid for the entirety of the system. This can allow you to use those government incentives to actively pay down your loan rather than receiving them as reimbursement for already-paid money.

You’ll Still Likely Have an ROI on Your System

For most people, the return on investment (ROI) is an important consideration when deciding whether or not to get a solar power system. Naturally, adding loan interest to the cost of your system can increase the long-term cost of getting one installed, which may lower your overall ROI. However, suppose financing means you can get that system sooner. In that case, you can more than offset those interest payments in many cases and increase your overall ROI.
