Introducing
Prepaid Renewable Energy Leases
The new standard in affordable solar and battery
how does PREPAID LEASING WORK?
When leasing solar and battery our third party provider recoups the commercial federal 30% tax credit, then passes those savings directly to the homeowner. The homeowner gets solar and battery with an immediate 30% reduction of the cost and essentially still benefits from the full value of the federal incentive.
REPLACING THE FEDERAL 30% tax credit
Traditionally, homeowners purchased a system outright in cash or through a loan and later claim a 30% federal tax credit. However, congress has ended these rebates and the benefits no longer apply for direct consumer purchases.
how a prepaid leasing system operates
A new way to pay
With a PPA, the homeowner doesn’t technically own the solar equipment—the leasing company does. Corporate retailers can still claim the business tax credit (Section 48E) and depreciation benefits. So our partner buys the system on your behalf, secures the tax credit and passes the savings to you upfront—typically 26–28 percent off the system’s cost.
how the savings work
For example, instead of paying $100,000 and waiting a year or more to get $30,000 back, a homeowner might pay $73,000 – $75,000 up front and receive the same functional benefit immediately. The financing company then owns and maintains the system for six years (the period during which they realize depreciation). After that, the customer can often take ownership for $0.
Joes journey to solar
better than ownership
From the homeowner’s perspective, a prepaid renewable energy lease feels identical to ownership: the system is on their roof, generates energy savings, and comes with production guarantees and service coverage. If system performance dips, the financier compensates them.
THE BENEFITS
This makes leasing not just a tax workaround but a lower-risk, maintenance-free, cash-efficient way to get solar—particularly valuable in the high-net-worth, tax-sensitive markets of Sonoma County and similar regions.
Pay less up front, enjoy guaranteed performance, and let the experts handle everything.
