$0 Down Advantage Program

"This new option is perfect for homeowners who are looking for an alternative to the upfront costs of purchasing solar. The PowerHouse Advantage offers a no-money-down solution that can instantly reduce your existing electric bill." - Bruce Blake, President

Seeing a need for a low cost option for their high-end equipment, SunPower developed a unique program to meet the needs of consumers when traditional financing doesn't make sense. With no money down, homeowners can enjoy the cost savings and environmental benefits of going solar for a small monthly fee, while maintaining flexibility in their options for future lifestyle changes.

For less than what you're paying to PG&E every month, you can go solar and pay PG&E little or nothing at all. It's like trading in your old power bill for a new solar power bill. The Advantage Program is a very viable option for homeowners as it enables them to also go solar for no money down and still gain all the financial benefits of actually owning their systems.

The PowerHouse Advantage Program offers a term of 20 years, an early buyout option available at seven years at a reduced rate, and the flexibility to upgrade is also an option. Just like owning a solar system, with the Advantage Program, your savings continue to increase over time.

How does the Advantage Program work?

The Advantage Program is a financing option that allows homeowners to generate solar electricity with little to no upfront capital investment. The program provides use of the solar equipment itself in exchange for a monthly lease payment. You benefit from the clean solar electricity generated from the rented solar installation. The combination of known solar payments and lower utility bills typically leads to an immediate reduction in electricity costs and provides increased savings over time.
