Solar leasing is a financing option where you pay a monthly fee to use a solar panel system installed on your home, but the solar company owns and maintains the equipment. You benefit from the solar energy produced without the upfront cost of purchasing the system.

Solar leasing offers low or no upfront costs, system maintenance by the provider, and predictable monthly payments. Buying provides potential tax incentives, and full ownership, which can increase home value.

When you sign up for a free quote, our in-house Solar Professionals will work with you to determine how much monthly energy savings you may expect. This relies on factors like your utility, how much electricity you use, and solar energy production at your home. We also make sure you get the most of North Carolina’s solar incentives and federal solar tax credit that may be available. We’ll only recommend solar if it’s the right fit for your home energy needs and profile.

To choose the best solar leasing company, seek out companies that demonstrate long-term stability, backed by strong customer reviews, and included maintenance. Compare rates, system performance guarantees, and reputation for service and support. Sunrun stands out for its proven track record of over 15 years, customizable solar plans, and dedicated customer support.

Yes, you can really go solar with no upfront costs. Qualifying 8MSolar customers can take control of their long-term electricity costs for as little as $0 down with the EnergySaver subscription. The benefits of solar are rolled up into a low, predictable monthly rate for solar power that replaces all or some of the power you used to receive from the grid.

1. We typically install commercial solar systems on rooftops of buildings that are almost always flat or have limited pitch. Using expert knowledge of the geographic area, we can design the array pitch angle to make sure it is producing optimal energy.
2. Commercial solar system installations also have different mounting mechanisms than traditional homes. Commercial solar panels have different clamp-on-type bases that we specifically design for flat/metal roofs.
3. The solar panels we use in most commercial applications are 72 cell panels, which is much larger than the traditional 60 cell modules we use in residential systems and have a higher power output – typically 350 watts per panel.
4. Rapid shutdown capabilities that bring the DC voltage down to an inherently safe level are required in NC. Our engineers will help you design a system that meets those requirements.

1. Ground-mounted systems are a great alternative for businesses that don’t have roofs suitable for solar panels but have significant amounts of land available. This system also works well if your company’s solar needs cannot be met by their current roof size. 
2. Using expert geographical knowledge, our engineers can choose the optimal placement of your panels. They will test things like ground compaction to make sure we choose the proper equipment to avoid any geological problems that may arise.
3. There are two types of ground-mounted solar panels. Pole-mounted panels are elevated off the ground and sometimes use tracking systems to tilt them toward the sun. Standard mounted solar panels have metal framing that we drive into the ground to keep them at a chosen angle.
