Yes! Solar is cleaner and less expensive than power from the utility company. Solar is a smart financial investment because you will save money on electricity costs for years to come and increase your home value. Customers who purchase a system typically see a strong Return on Investment (ROI) and expect to recover their solar system investment as soon as 5 years. Depending on the federal, state, and local incentives offered in your area, you may be able to pay back your system even sooner.

The incentives and rebates are both real and substantial. Local, state and federal governments offer tremendous financial incentives for businesses to choose solar. A combination of incentives and tax credits will cover 30% (or more) of the total cost! The most important thing to keep in mind about these governmental programs is this—they won't last forever. Now is the time to take advantage of the federal and state mandate to switch to renewable sources of energy; once the adoption rate reaches a certain level, the incentives will disappear.

We think so. Federal, state and local governments are offering generous tax credits and incentives to go solar and add a battery; however, these programs are designed to reward early adopters, so the rebate amount per project may drop as the allotted funds are consumed. In addition, solar can dramatically reduce your utility bill and will protect you from rising utility rates for years to come.

Yes! Freedom Solar offers several financing options to make your solar experience affordable. Reasonable financing is offered through our vendors and local credit unions.

Prior to installing your solar electric system, we recommend you contact your insurance carrier to determine the impact on your yearly premium. Most insurance companies do not increase the premium and some are starting to reduce the premium.

Property assessed clean energy, or PACE, financing allows property owners to fund energy efficiency, water efficiency and renewable energy projects with little or no up-front costs. With PACE, residential and commercial property owners living within a participating district can finance up to 100% of their project and pay it back over time as a voluntary property tax assessment through their existing property tax bill.

First, by offering up to 100% financing on qualifying improvements, PACE can eliminate the need to pay out of pocket for your project. Second, depending upon the type of improvements installed, repayment may be amortized for a period of up to 20 years, keeping your monthly payments low enough that your utility savings may exceed your payment, creating a net positive cash flow. Third, the interest may be tax deductible. Finally, because PACE ties the loan to the property and not an individual, the loan may transfer upon sale or refinancing of the property. In other words, you may not need to be concerned about recouping the cost of your improvements if you decide to sell the property before the loan is repaid.

PACE financing is only available to property owners in certain cities or counties that have adopted a program. In general, PACE programs offer competitive financing terms to property owners with at least some equity in their home or business and have not been delinquent on their property tax or mortgage payments.
