Sunlight is free, but solar systems still cost money.
Thankfully, though, the price of going solar has plummeted over the past decade — even with higher interest rates recently — and there are many programs, incentives, and rebates available to drive down total costs even further.
To pay the remaining balance for longterm renewable energy today, home and business owners can pay cash, look at third-party ownership (TPO) options, or explore a variety of other solar financing products.
