While there are some who know making the switch to solar is best for their home or business, there are others that are not fully confident they can afford to move to solar energy. In both types of parties, we hear one common question: Should I purchase the solar energy system or lease it?

Our Coachella Valley, solar energy experts, are here to answer this question. In doing so, our hope is to explain better the advantages of paying for a system in cash, purchasing a system through a SunPower loan, and leasing a system through a SunPower lease.

Let’s get down to business.

Purchasing a System in Cash

Not everyone has large amounts of cash sitting in the bank, and for those that do, keeping it in the account for a rainy day or an emergency is typically the best bet. However, for those who are set on switching to solar energy for their home or business and are interested in the least out-of-pocket over the life of their solar panel system, purchasing a residential solar or commercial solar system in cash may be the best option. Aside from the most affordable overall price, those who pay for their system in cash also receive the following benefits:

• Customer is eligible to take a 26% tax credit.
• Power Production Guarantee (The panels are guaranteed to produce a certain amount of power for each 12-month period. If they produce less, the solar panel company will compensate you
• 25-year manufacturer’s warranty

Purchasing a System via a SunPower Loan

For those who want to enjoy all the benefits that solar offers but also want to increase the value of their home in terms of resell value, purchasing a system through a SunPower loan is a great option. When a person chooses to go through a SunPower loan, they can enjoy the following:
