Solar Financing FAQs
What is the Fixed-Rate Energy Plan?
It’s a modern solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) offered in partnership with Palmetto LightReach. You pay a fixed monthly rate for the power your solar panels produce, with no upfront costs, no rate hikes, and full maintenance included
How is this different from traditional solar leases?
Typically, no. Rain and snow usually do the job here in Western Massachusetts. Remove any large debris like leaves or branches promptly. If cleaning is necessary, do it early in the morning before the panels heat up.
Do I own the system under this plan?
If you don’t have battery backup, your solar system will temporarily shut down during a grid outage and automatically restart once power returns. If you do have batteries, your system will seamlessly switch to backup power for essential circuits.
Will my monthly payment ever increase?
Most systems are low-maintenance and include monitoring apps that help track performance. However, if you notice a sudden dip in energy production or receive a system alert, we’re always happy to help troubleshoot.
