Financing Options
Flexible approaches to going solar
Every project is different, which is why we help homeowners and businesses explore financing options that fit their goals, budget, and timeline.
Propel Financing
A flexible financing option for homeowners
Propel financing is designed to help homeowners move forward with solar through a structured financing approach that focuses on long-term ownership and manageable monthly payments.
Unlike traditional leases, Propel is built around ownership — meaning you build equity in your system over time and may remain eligible for available solar incentives.

Why Financing Works
Long-term energy savings without waiting
Many homeowners and businesses choose financing because it allows them to move forward with solar sooner rather than waiting to pay the full project cost upfront. With electricity costs continuing to rise, financing can help in several practical ways.
More predictable energy costs
Replace fluctuating utility bills with a predictable monthly investment in your own energy production.
Reduced reliance on utility power
Generate more of your own electricity and become less dependent on the rising cost of grid power.
Improved long-term property value
Solar systems can add long-term value to your property as an asset that produces energy for decades.
Support energy independence goals
Take meaningful steps toward producing your own clean energy without waiting years to fund the project.
