Solar lease vs loan vs cash

A clear breakdown of the three most common ways homeowners go solar.

Lease / PPA: Little to no upfront cost for qualified homeowners. You make a predictable monthly payment for the solar power produced.

Loan: You finance the system and may own it outright over time. You may qualify for tax incentives if eligible.

Cash: You pay upfront and own the system from day one. Highest upfront cost, but often the strongest long-term savings.

There's no single best answer. The right plan depends on your home, your usage, your utility, and your goals.
