How To Finance Residential Solar
Cash Purchase
Requires 100% upfront capital investment and O&M costs for 30 years. The organization will be eligible for the 26% Federal ITC, 24.5% State ITC, and MACRS Accelerated Depreciation. The internal rate of return (IRR) on this cash purchase is 32%, and the simple payback will occur in less than 2 years.
Operating Lease
Requires 0% down, with a 10-year lease term at 6.00% interest and a future buyout option. The organization would also be responsible for 30 years of O&M costs but would NOT be eligible for any of the tax credits or other incentives. This system would be cash flow positive from year one.
Bank Loan
Requires 0% down, but the loan is a 7-year term at 5.00% interest and the organization is also responsible for O&M costs for 30 years. The organization will still be eligible for the 26% Federal ITC, 24.5% State ITC, and MACRS Accelerated Depreciation. This system would be cash flow positive from year one.
PPA
requires 0% down, with a 20-year PPA rate with 0% escalator, and the organization will have the option to purchase the system after 20 years (incurring O&M costs for the last 10 years of the 30-year lifespan). This system would be cash flow positive from year one.

Solar Can Be Financed Through a Variety of Mechanisms
PPA
The solar financier raises the necessary Tax Equity and other capital, develops and maintains the project, and charges a pre-set fee per unit of energy ($/kWh).
Operating Lease
Allow for quick ownership of the solar asset and can provide the Tax Equity necessary to monetize the tax benefits.
Self-Finance
Companies that have available financing, tax appetite, and the right economic drivers can self-finance a system, sometimes backed with bank debt supported by the system assets.
Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE)
PACE financing is tied to the property, not the end-user or property owner. Therefore, it’s not reliant on the owner’s creditworthiness.

What Commercial Businesses are Saying About us!
Great people to work with, professional and excellent customer service! Would recommend them to anyone wanted to go solar for home or business.
Bear solar was a pleasure to work with on my residential solar panel addition. Bear solar was the only company that provided a professional presentation using software that showed potential energy capture scenarios with different panel types and a no hassle sales pitch. I requested over 10 different bids from other companies. Some companies were pushy while others weren’t prompt. It was a pleasure to see Bear solar be competitive in price and not use spreadsheets in their presentation (spreadsheet formulas can easily be manipulated). I also came away with a quality installation. Please consider bear solar in your solar bids. They are worth your time.
Very honest and reputable company. Azim, the owner is an engineer by trade so you know you’re going to get a great looking installation, top notch equipment and production from the solar system.
