Solar leasing for your state and situation
Solar leasing rules and solar payment options can look different from one state to another. We help you understand the basics, compare lease, PPA, and loan choices, and explore what may fit your home and budget.
Start with your state and your goals
Solar is not one-size-fits-all. Your utility rates, net metering rules, local sunshine, roof shape, and state programs can all affect how a lease, PPA, or loan may work for you.
Why the same solar lease can look different in different places
A solar lease or PPA may look more attractive in one state than another. In some areas, strong net metering or higher electric rates can make monthly solar payments look more competitive. In other areas, policy changes, utility fees, or lower export credits may reduce the value of extra solar power sent back to the grid.
