What Does $0 Down Solar Actually Mean?

A $0 down offer describes an upfront payment structure, not a no-cost system. A homeowner may still have a monthly lease or loan payment and utility charges.

Review what is financed or leased

Identify whether the proposal is a loan, lease or other program. Confirm the total cost, payment schedule, fees, escalators and ownership rights.

Approval matters

Program availability and eligibility vary by home and applicant. Only the current written offer and lender or provider approval determine your terms.

Compare remaining utility charges

Some fixed charges can remain, and exported electricity may be credited under utility-specific rules. Ask for a bill comparison that spells out assumptions.
