Key Benefits

Property owners in SUNation’s service areas are welcome to take advantage of this prepaid lease program.
Yup! We work with lenders who can finance all or part of the prepayment portion of this prepaid lease.
Of course, any lender’s terms and conditions for qualifying apply, so check with your preferred lender if you plan on working with them.
Yup! You will have an end-of-term purchase option and an early buy option following the 6th anniversary of entering the agreement. The early buyout purchase price will be the fair market value of the system, minus any offsetting obligations at a purchase price that is no less than $0. 
Nope! The agreement does NOT require a UCC lien or other encumbrance(s) placed on the home. If you do finance a down payment, then your individual lender may place a lien or another 
The prepaid lease is fully transferable - the new buyer can take over the agreement with no risk, credit check, or underwriting required. We just needs a simple transfer notice. 
You can choose to buy-out at Fair Market Value, extend the lease agreement, or have the system removed. However… there is always the option for customers to take ownership of the system earlier in the agreement’s term.

Nothing - Based on the structure of the agreement with your solar financing partner, homeowners face no policy risks if federal incentives change in the coming years.

Yes! You can add any battery storage options to accompany your photovoltaic solar system.

A new roof can be part of the agreement with our solar financing partner. Talk to a SUNation solar expert for more information!

This arrangement allows for our solar financing partner to leverage existing incentives to lower the overall costs of your lease payments. This unique arrangement eventually can allow for paths to ownership if the homeowner so chooses, as well as other flexible options that essentially form a hybrid path to solar that blends the best of a traditional solar lease and purchase option!
