WHY GO SOLAR

Payments Less Than Your Electric Bill

Financing is the most common way to purchase panels for your home. After your custom system is installed, you pay a monthly payment comparable to prior utility payments while you build equity in your solar energy system. 

Purchasing a solar energy system may qualify you to receive a federal tax credit. You can choose to pocket that money, or apply it to the loan to accelerate ownership. Once you pay off the financing, there are no more payments and you pay nothing for the power produced by the system. 

We work with several lenders so that we can offer great financing options. Consumer friendly loans provided by our solar financing partners offer several great terms and options including:

  • Low interest rates

  • No pre-payment penalties

  • Fixed payments for duration of loan, with consumer friendly re-amortization options

  • No money down

  • Loan options based upon qualification and can vary

Solar Lease

At Helio GreenTech we believe in working with partners that have our customers best interest at heart. Our lending partners, Such as Sunlight Financial and BrightOak specializes in alternative energy financing and offering unique lending solutions that fit your lifestyle. They stand for: serving others, impacting communities, and making a difference. Leasing is a great option for those who may not qualify for the tax incentive, for those who are not interested in owning the system but still want the savings and benefits of going green.

Benefits of a lease:

  • No down payment: If you lease solar panels, you generally pay $0 down—simply pay your solar panel leasing company to use the system. No maintenance: Typically, the solar leasing company takes responsibility for all repair and maintenance issues, which can mean your system is hands-off. No cost escalator! 

  • When choosing between buying solar panels and leasing solar systems, it's important to base the decision on your individual needs. Whether you buy or lease your system, the sooner you get started, the sooner you can reap these benefits.
