How Do You Pay For Going Solar?
There are four ways to go solar:
​
1.) Pay Cash
2.) Solar Financing
3.) Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)
4.) Lease
​
The first two options are direct ownership options while the latter are third party ownership options. For more info regarding third party ownership head over to our
