Solar Opportunities: Ask a Solar Contractor

Ask a solar contractor for an assessment

Certified solar contractors in your area can estimate the bill savings you can expect from a solar system on your property and advise you on system size and other questions you may have. Many are offering lease repurchase agreements in which homeowners do not have to pay for the systems at the time of installation; instead the equipment is repaid through monthly payments much like a zero money down car purchase. Usually, these lease arrangements are structured so that your monthly payments, including your electric bill, will be no more than your home’s original electric bill levels.

To find a solar installer, you might begin with a check of your state or regional Solar Energy Industries Association. Or review the information posted here. If you do engage a contractor, you can also rate them at this site to share the experience with others.
