Guide To Solar

A Solar Specialist uses six metrics in determining if your home is ready to make the switch:

• 1. What are your average monthly energy bills at present?
• 2. What type of dwelling do you live in?
• 3. Are you the owner of the dwelling?
• 4. Is your roof compatible with solar?
• 5. Which tax incentives and rebates are available to you?
• 6. What are solar costs in your specific region of Texas?

If it seems your roof may not be a perfect fit for solar, don’t worry! Ground mounted solar systems allow Texans to enjoy all the benefits of roof mounted solar systems and even come with some unique benefits of their own.

Once you have reviewed a variety of equipment options, it’s time to choose which system configuration will best suit your home's energy needs. Factors such as the manufacturer, quality of the solar equipment included in your quote, battery storage, price, and finally rebates are some considerations in designing your home’s perfect system.

Welcome aboard! Now that you have signed your solar agreement and picked the best payment option, it is time to sit back and enjoy, as your home’s solar energy system is being professionally installed.

Deciding how you will pay for your system is as important as choosing which brand of solar panel to install or whether to include battery storage. Payment methods fall into two categories of paying for solar: Up front / “cash” or with a $0 down solar loan.

Each payment option comes with its own set of pros and cons.

One of the biggest “pros” to a cash payment option is that you will realize the largest savings over the life of your solar system.

However, the obvious “con” is that you must have the available funds to buy the system up front. There are also some great financing options available for solar customers today as well.

Most Texas solar customers opt for one of the many financing options that allow you to pay for your system monthly. The primary “pro” of opting for a solar loan is that you can still enjoy all the tax benefits and savings associated with going solar without spending any cash up front.

$0 Down, zero % interest solar loans and 18 month/same as cash options, may be available in your area. Ask your solar specialist about these special offers.

*When you choose a solar loan, you are still eligible for the same manufacturer rebates and tax incentives as upfront purchasers.
