Solar Loans
Rising electricity bills can be a burden on any budget. Take control of your energy costs by exploring home solar power.
Benefits Of Solar Power
Installing rooftop solar panels is a great way to protect yourself from rising energy costs, add value to your home, and improve local air quality. Additional benefits include:
- Clean and renewable energy source
- Makes electricity grid more resilient
- Saves you money on your electricity bill
- Offers a hedge on rising energy costs
- Provides a path to energy independence
- Improves the resale value of your home
I cannot tell you how excited, happy, and relieved we are that we chose Freedom Solar for our solar panels. My wife works and I am a teacher and a coach, so we are never really home. They worked around our busy schedules. The customer service has been nothing short of spectacular.

Solar Financing Options
Solar power is a low-risk, high-return investment. Most people choose to finance their system with monthly payments rather than paying cash, with the goal of achieving a “bill swap”, meaning the amount of money you spend on your solar payments is equal to the dollar savings you gain from a lower electricity bill.
Our partner Freedom Solar Power can help you attain your solar panel system with $0 down payment options, low interest rates from A+ Federal Credit Union, and a 25-year warranty that will ensure you don’t lose any money in the long run.
In addition to financing, through the federal solar tax credit, qualifying homeowners get 30% of the cost of their solar installation back on their federal tax return. Local and state governments also offer renewable energy incentive rebates.*
