Saved $62K

“I was about to sign a PPA that would have cost me $62,000 more over 25 years. One phone call changed everything. Now I own my panels and my payment is LOWER than the PPA quote.”

Saved $73K

“The sales rep made the PPA sound amazing. Then I got a second quote and realized I'd be paying $73,000 more over the life of the contract. Ownership was a no-brainer.”

Saved $87/mo

“I went solar through ownership and my monthly payment dropped by $87 compared to my old electric bill. In 5 years I'll own it free and clear. Best financial decision I've made.”

Frequently Asked Questions

With a PPA (Power Purchase Agreement), a company owns the panels on your roof and sells you the electricity — often with annual rate increases for 25 years. With ownership, YOU own the panels, lock in a fixed rate, and the federal tax credit goes directly to you. After ~5 years, you own the system outright and your electricity is essentially free.
Most homeowners save $50-100/month from day one compared to their current utility bill. Over 25 years, the difference between owning vs. leasing can be $40,000-$70,000+ in savings — money that stays in your pocket instead of going to a solar company.
About 40% of your system cost is covered upfront through the program. The remaining balance is spread into a fixed monthly payment — no escalators, no surprises. Once paid off in ~5 years, your panels generate free electricity for the next 20+ years.
When you own your solar system, the 30% federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) goes directly to you — not to a leasing company. For an average system, that's $8,000-$12,000 back in your pocket. With a PPA, the solar company keeps that credit.
Not necessarily. Many PPA contracts have cancellation windows or transfer options. Even if you're locked in, understanding what you could have saved helps you make better decisions when the contract ends — or if you move to a new home.
No high-pressure tactics. We provide a transparent comparison between what you've been offered and what solar ownership looks like. You get the numbers, and you decide. That's it.
