POWER YOUR HOME
WITH THE SUN
Cut your electric bill by up to 85% and protect your home from rising energy costs — with flexible financing options including $0-down PPAs, Prepaid PPAs, and Domestic Content systems.
Why Go Solar
THE BENEFITS ARE
UNDENIABLE
Slash Your Electric Bill
Most SmartSun customers reduce their electric bill by 70–85%. Many pay less than $30/month — even in the hot Southeast summers.
$0 Down With a PPA
Our Power Purchase Agreement lets you go solar with no upfront cost. You buy the power your panels produce at a rate lower than your utility — savings start on day one.
Increase Home Value
Solar adds an average of 4% to home value. Buyers pay a premium for solar-equipped homes, and the system transfers with full warranty.
25-Year Warranty
Our panels carry a 25-year performance warranty, guaranteed to produce at least 80% of rated power. Plus a 10-year workmanship warranty on every install.
Energy Independence
Pair with a battery backup system to stay powered during outages. Stop depending on the utility grid and rising electricity rates.
Environmental Impact
Going solar reduces your household carbon footprint by an average of 3–4 tons of CO₂ per year — equivalent to planting 100 trees annually.
Financing Options
THE RIGHT DEAL
FOR YOUR SITUATION
SmartSun offers multiple ways to go solar — from zero upfront to maximum long-term savings. We'll help you find the structure that fits your goals.
Power Purchase Agreement
$0 Down · No Ownership
SmartSun installs and owns the system on your roof. You purchase the electricity it produces at a fixed rate — typically 10–30% below your current utility rate. No maintenance, no repair costs, no surprises.
- Zero upfront cost
- Immediate monthly savings
- SmartSun handles all maintenance
- Fixed rate — no utility rate hikes
- 20–25 year agreement term
Prepaid PPA
Lower Cost · Ownership Transition Built In
A Prepaid PPA uses a transitional ownership model where a third-party entity temporarily holds the system during an initial period (typically ~5 years), allowing the project to access commercial clean-energy incentives that are no longer available to most homeowners. Much of that savings is passed through upfront to reduce your total project cost — and ownership transfers to you automatically through a built-in Early Buyout Option after the transition period.
- Lower overall project cost vs. standard financing
- Fixed payments — no annual escalators
- Monitoring, maintenance & production guarantees included
- May access commercial incentives & domestic content bonuses
- System ownership transfers to you after initial term
- Not a long-term lease — ownership is the goal
Domestic Content
US-Made Equipment · Added Benefits
Domestic Content systems use solar panels, inverters, and racking manufactured in the United States. These systems may qualify for additional incentives under current federal energy policy — and support American manufacturing jobs.
- US-manufactured panels & components
- May qualify for additional federal incentives
- Available with PPA or Prepaid PPA
- Same 25-year performance warranty
- Ask us about current availability
Not sure which option is right for you? Our solar advisors will model both PPA and Prepaid PPA scenarios for your home, show you the exact numbers side by side, and help you make the decision that maximizes your savings. No pressure — just clear information.
