When you’re making the switch to solar, you get to choose from dozens of options and customizations. Do you want to have a ground mount or a roof mount system? Are you interested in battery storage for home backup? What about a monitoring system?

Once we start seeing dollar signs, even more questions arise. How are you going to pay for this system? What kind of financing should you choose? Though solar panels will ultimately save you money, you will have to be prepared to make an upfront financial decision before you dive in.

Today, we’re highlighting one kind of financing: solar leasing. Let’s take a look and discover the benefits of getting a lease for your solar system.

What are the benefits of a solar lease?

1. Low monthly payments make it easy to get started

Solar leases have no upfront costs associated to them – just the monthly lease fee, making it easy for anyone to break into solar energy. If you’re unsure about getting started with solar, it can be a lower upfront commitment to have a lease. Loans are also available, and many come with a zero money down benefit, though they will often have higher monthly payments than a lease.

2. Able to buy your panels after seven years

For many who lease, their main concern is not being able to eventually own their solar panels. If this is a fear of yours, don’t worry. Sun Solar offers a lease purchase program that allows you to purchase your solar panels after leasing them for a predetermined amount of time. Our lease program offers an optional buyout after leasing for seven years.

3. Decrease your bill immediately

Of all of the options, leasing your solar panels is the quickest way to see a return on investment. When purchasing with cash or a loan, it usually takes some time to build back up the money you spent upon your initial purchase. Without spending money upfront, you can see your bill decrease immediately and begin to reap the benefits of your solar power even sooner.
