Three ways to go solar. We compare them for you.
Every home is different, so we line the options up for your address instead of pushing one.
Pay for the powerSolar PPA
You pay a set rate for the electricity your panels produce. The installer owns and maintains the system.
Fixed monthlySolar lease
You pay one predictable amount each month to use the system. The installer owns and maintains it.
You own itSolar loan
You finance the system and own it. Ask which incentives apply to owners, since they change.

Why some homeowners choose a PPA over cash or a loan
A PPA is not right for everyone, but here is when it often fits.
You would rather not pay upfront
A cash purchase can mean a large payment on day one. With a PPA, some offers start with no money down, so you pay for the power the system produces instead.
You do not want to manage a system
With a loan you own the system and take care of it. With a PPA the installer typically owns, monitors and maintains it, so there is less to handle.
You want a clear rate per kWh
A PPA sets the price you pay for solar power. Some include a yearly increase, so we compare the rate and the escalator, not just the first month.
Cash or a loan can be the better fit if you want to own the system and claim any incentives available to owners. The right choice depends on your home, your utility and the installer's terms, so compare the total cost over the full term.

Does it cost anything to compare?
No. Comparing your options is free and comes with no obligation. You decide whether to move forward after you see the numbers.
Are you a solar installer?
No. Collective Power is an independent solar brokerage. We compare offers from installer partners and financing options for you, so you are not stuck with one company's pitch.
Can I really get solar with no money down?
Some offers start with no money down. Whether you qualify depends on your address, your credit and the installer, so always ask for the full cost over the whole term.
Is solar still worth it after NEM 3.0 and the end of the federal credit?
It can be, but the math is different for each home. SCE customers are under California's net billing rules, often called NEM 3.0, which pay less for power sent to the grid. LADWP has its own rules. The federal homeowner credit ended for systems placed in service after 2025. We compare offers with your utility in mind.
