Financing Options for
Residential Systems
Cash Purchase
You own the system and lock in your electricity rate once and for all - no more worries about utility price increase. Solar and energy storage system are more affordable than ever, and you can benefit from rebates and the federal tax credit of 30% (as of 2024 and subject to eligibility). Purchasing the system deliveries one of the best returns on investment.
⚠️ Important: the federal residential solar tax credit is scheduled to expire after December 31, 2025. Ask us about our prepaid lease option which helps lock in savings before the credit goes away.
Lease-to-Own Program
Altadena Energy & Solar offers an in-house lease-to-own program. Systems remains owned and operated by AES, and comes with a money-back power-production guarantee plus an all-inclusive warranty during the lease term for extra peace of mind. If you sell your home before the lease end, we will work with your escrow company to transfer it to the next homeowner or you can simply buyout the lease.
We offer both prepaid and monthly lease options to make becoming grid independent simple and affordable.
A prepaid lease lets you pay upfront for the entire lease term, locking in your energy saving and avoiding monthly payments and additional financing cost.
A monthly lease offers a low initial deposit and predicable fixed payments over time - an easy, budget-friend way to enjoy clean, reliable power with warranty coverage and performance guarantees.
⚠️ Note: with the federal residential solar tax credit ending in 2025, our prepaid lease program will be the most affordable option for homeowners completing installations in 2026 and 2027.
Go Green Financing
We are an authorized contractor with Go Green Financing, part of the California Hub for Energy Efficiency Financing (CHEEF) - a state-administering program funded by investor-owned utility ratepayers. This program is currently avaiable only for Southern California Edison customers and require that your project includes an energy storage component (no solar-only financing).
⚠️ Important Notice about Third-Party Financing: Beginning in 2026, the federal residential solar tax credit is expected to expire. This may significantly reduce the financial benefits of third-party solar loans that rely on claiming the tax credit. If you are planning a solar installation in 2026 or 2027, please consult your tax advisor or talk to us about our prepaid or monthly lease options, which may offer better overall value once the credit ends.
