BUYING SOLAR IS ALWAYS YOUR BEST BET!

Free Solar might be tempting, but Lease and PPA deals never help customers save long term. In fact, most homeowners who choose these “free” solar deals will end up paying more for electricity in the long run because of fixed escalation fees. Thus, buying or owning your own solar panels is the best way to save with solar for 3 reasons:

 

  • You own your power
  • You benefit from all local, state, and federal incentives
  • You can get paid for excess power with Net-Metering
