I agree with you, Susan, that these innovative financing plans have made a huge difference in making solar not only affordable, but viable for homeowners, who would not have normally been able to get solar. By seeing solar panels not as a luxury or fancy home addition, but a simple home upgrade that can allow you to pay for electricity just like you pay your utility, makes solar much more within reach – financially and conceptually.

Thanks for the great article!
