Solar Financing Options Explained
Switching to solar is easier than ever, especially with flexible programs that can reduce or eliminate upfront cost.
Understanding the differences between each option helps homeowners choose the path that best fits their goals, budget, and long-term plans.
OPTION 1
Power Purchase
Agreement (PPA)
A Power Purchase Agreement allows a homeowner to go solar without owning the system. A solar company installs panels on the home with no upfront cost — the homeowner agrees to buy the electricity the system produces at a set rate.
Considerations
The homeowner does not own the system. Long-term financial upside is more limited than ownership-based options. Payments may increase over time depending on the structure.
No upfront cost
Maintenance typically covered
Lower electricity rate vs utility
OPTION 2
Solar Lease
A solar lease allows a homeowner to use solar energy with a fixed monthly payment without owning the system. The solar company installs and owns the system — the homeowner pays a fixed monthly amount to use it.
Considerations
The homeowner does not own the system. Long-term savings may be more limited than ownership. If the home is sold, the lease may need to be transferred.
No upfront cost
Maintenance typically covered
Predictable monthly payment
Recommended — Option 3
Aura+ Ownership Program
Aura+ is a flexible solar financing program designed to give homeowners the benefits of ownership without the burden of a large upfront payment. The homeowner finances the full cost with $0 upfront, then receives approximately 30% back after installation.
After the system is installed and activated, the homeowner receives a refund totaling approximately 30% of the system cost — delivered in stages. Once received, the homeowner can either keep the money or use it to lower their monthly payment.
Benefits of Aura+

Path to system ownership
~30% back after installation

Potential increase in home value
You go solar with no money down, receive built-in financial flexibility, and still benefit from ownership and long-term value.
