What are the different solar financing models available?

There are several solar financing models, including cash purchase, solar loans, leases, and power purchase agreements (PPAs). Each has its own benefits and drawbacks.

Can you explain the benefits of a solar lease?

Sure! A solar lease allows you to use solar panels without the upfront costs. You pay a fixed monthly fee, and the leasing company maintains the system.

What about power purchase agreements?

In a PPA, you pay for the electricity generated by the solar system at a set rate, which is usually lower than your local utility rate. This model also requires no upfront costs.

Which model is the most cost-effective in the long run?

Generally, a cash purchase is the most cost-effective in the long run, as you own the system outright and can benefit from tax credits and incentives.
