Propel Financing

Flexible solar financing designed for Maine homeowners.

Propel financing helps make solar more accessible with flexible payment options and a path toward long-term system ownership.

Programs and eligibility change over time. The information on this page is for general reference only. We'll review the current programs that may apply to your specific project during your free consultation.

Overview

A simpler way to go solar

Propel financing is designed to help homeowners move forward with solar without paying the full project cost upfront.

Instead, homeowners can spread payments over time while benefiting from lower energy costs and long-term system value.

For many homeowners, Propel offers an alternative to traditional leasing by focusing on ownership and long-term energy savings.
