Purchasing options for a Lunar System

How to buy a solar and battery system for your home: cash, loan, or lease?

A Lunar System can lower your energy bills, eliminate power outages, and reduce your carbon footprint. And you have options for how to get the system. Here are the three most common ways:

Cash Purchase

Paying upfront with cash gives you full ownership of the system from day one. This option typically offers the highest long-term savings and allows you to take advantage of available tax credits and incentives. It’s best if you have the funds available and want to maximize your return on investment.

Solar Loan

A solar loan allows you to finance the system over time, often with little or no upfront cost. You still own the system from day one and can claim tax credits, but your savings may be reduced by interest payments.

Lease or Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

With a lease or PPA, a third party owns the system, and you pay a monthly fee—either a fixed lease payment or a rate based on the energy the system produces. This option typically requires no upfront cost and can offer immediate savings, but you won’t be eligible for tax credits.

Each option has its pros and cons, so consider your financial goals, homeownership timeline, and available incentives when deciding. Want help figuring out what’s right for you? Meet a Lunar Certified Installer by filling out this form.
