I know everyone would love to get a solar installation on his or her property, but solar installation costs are often something of a showstopper for most homeowners. Well solar installation costs shouldn’t be standing in your way any more. You see there are options other than buying your solar installation outright for homeowners just like you.
When looking at the overall price tag for all the solar installation costs it’s easy to say that is out of financial reach. But with any new technology there comes advances in financial instruments to overcome these cost barriers. Solar leasing is one such option to reduce your initial solar installation costs, in fact the majority of solar installations in the top 5 cities for solar in California are purchased using a solar lease, read about it in my blog post titled “The Top 5 Cities for Solar in California.”
Tom Overcomes Solar Installation Costs with a Solar Lease
Here is one such homeowner’s story about how he overcame the perceived financial hurdle that solar installation costs posed to his desire to install solar. This is proof that there are available options for homeowner’s like you to avoid large solar installation costs.
“No matter where you live, you probably pay some attention to what your neighbors are up to. Naturally, when one of them starts installing solar panels on their roof, you might get intrigued. That’s exactly what happened to Tom in El Cajon, CA, and he’s been reaping the rewards ever since.
Tom is a retired veteran who enjoys kicking back with family and neighbors. When his neighbor Jay, a San Diego Gas & Electric executive, installed solar panels on his roof, Tom took to researching his own solar options.”
Now not all solar installers offer solar leasing programs, so you should do your research before you decide on which solar installer to go with. The options for financing your solar installation will greatly depend on your solar installer and who they have partnered with to help defray solar installation costs for their customers.
“The solar lease program made it affordable – I only paid $225 out-of-pocket costs,” said Tom. “I wanted to go solar because of my high electric bills and I know bills are only going to continue to rise.”
By going solar with SunRun, Tom was able to dodge the high upfront cost that could have put the cost of solar out of his reach. Now he has locked in a predictable rate for clean power and enjoys the benefits of SunRun’s monitoring, insurance and repairs. While his solar system generates power from the sun, Tom is free to spend his time with family and neighbors, just as he’d prefer.”
Once installed your solar installation is relatively maintenance free so you can enjoy solar power at a fixed rate with no fuss or worry. It’s really just the initial solar installation costs that seem insurmountable.
But don’t think that you can’t overcome these solar installation costs. You do have options!
