Paying in full at the time of service is often the simplest and most cost-effective option for homeowners.

Advantages:

• Fixed monthly payments
• Established payment term

Disadvantages:

• Interest costs over the loan term
• Potential for fees

3. Home Equity Loans

These loans leverage the equity built up in a home, providing potentially lower interest rates. This option is suitable for those who have remodeled or maintained their homes over the years.

• Subsidized rates

5. Leasing Options

Customers can lease solar panels without the upfront investment required for a purchase. This method often includes maintenance and monitoring as part of the lease agreement.

• Complicated terms and conditions

6. Credit Cards

Using a credit card for financing can be beneficial if the card has a low-interest rate or a cash-back reward. Ensure you can manage payments to avoid high-interest charges.

Advantages:
