Going solar can be an intimidating and often costly change. Luckily, however, you don't have to break the bank to power your home with solar energy. Thanks to solar leasing options, you can still run your home on solar energy without the need for rooftop panel installations.
The scoop
If the upfront cost of installing solar panels exceeds your budget, leasing them may be the ideal solution for you. By leasing solar panels, you avoid the hefty initial costs of installation while reaping the energy-saving benefits of having solar power.
For homeowners interested in leasing solar panels, Palmetto's LightReach program offers plans with no upfront costs. One of the benefits of leasing through Palmetto's program is that you can lock in your energy rate for 25 years. That's a major win, considering the ever-fluctuating prices of conventional energy bills.
How it's helping
Switching your household to solar power is one of the most effective ways to save money on your energy bills while also reducing your environmental impact. By leasing solar panels, you decrease the amount of harmful, planet-warming gases entering the atmosphere, which helps combat rising global temperatures.
If leasing panels isn't the right option for you, EnergySage has free online resources available to help homeowners navigate the process of rooftop solar installations. In just a few minutes, you can compare quotes from vetted installers in your area.
