How it works

How your solar plan works

Who owns the system and how you pay depends on the plan you choose. Your proposal shows the actual owner, terms and full costs before you sign.

You keep your power company

Your utility account stays open.
Utility charges or a utility bill may still remain.

Lease or power purchase agreement (PPA)

These are different contracts. A provider generally owns the system.
A lease has a set payment. A PPA charges for power, either a set monthly amount or per kWh.

Loan or cash purchase

You buy the system. A loan follows its quoted payment schedule.
Cash means paying the full price up front.

PACE, only with a local quote

PACE is an assessment added to your property-tax bill.
It depends on your property and local program, and needs its own quote.

What to review in writing

Your full payment picture. Add the solar payment, assessment or upfront price to the utility charges that remain.
Who owns the system. Your proposal names the actual owner and company.

If your plan is a lease

The provider owns the equipment. You don't buy it up front; you pay a lease amount instead.
Review the term, any yearly payment change, system care, roof-work limits and transfer steps.
