Although investing in solar is one of the best ways to reduce your utility bills amidst rising energy costs, the upfront investment can be a sticking point for some homeowners looking to upgrade.
For this reason, solar leasing programs are becoming a more popular option across the country, especially after the rollback of lucrative tax credits for solar installations. A solar lease is similar to a car lease or even a Netflix subscription.
When a homeowner or renter leases panels, they can benefit from lower energy bills and clean solar power while avoiding upfront installation costs by paying a monthly fee instead.
Palmetto is one company changing how homeowners get solar through its solar leasing program, LightReach. If you sign up for LightReach, Palmetto owns the panels, but you get the power that they generate.
"A Palmetto Energy Plan lets you go solar by swapping the upfront cost of buying and installing solar panels for predictable monthly payments," Palmetto's website noted. "Palmetto owns, monitors, and maintains the system, and you get all the electricity."
In turn, you pay a monthly fee while Palmetto covers the solar mapping, system design, permitting, installation, and even maintenance for $0 down. Essentially, you're avoiding the large upfront payment in favor of dispersed monthly charges.
Plus, Palmetto even offers verification testing to ensure homeowners can trust their new solar system will generate as expected.
Although homeowners typically see more returns on their investment by buying solar panels outright, solar leasing offers a model for homeowners concerned about the initial costs. Plus, by ditching harmful fossil fuels for solar power, homeowners can rest easy knowing their lights and appliances are powered by clean, renewable energy.
