Lease to own
What if you could get the immediate financial benefits of solar—like lower energy bills and minimal upfront cost—while also building a clear path to owning the system outright?
You like the simplicity of a lease, but you also see the long-term value of owning a powerful energy-generating asset.
If this sounds like the balance you’re looking for, then a Lease-to-Own solar agreement might be the perfect fit for your business.
Think of it like leasing a high-performance vehicle. You get all the benefits of driving it right away for a predictable monthly payment, but you have a clear, pre-agreed plan to buy it at the end of the term and make it truly yours. It’s the best of both worlds: immediate affordability and long-term ownership.
So, How Does It Work in Practice?
A Lease-to-Own agreement is designed to be straightforward, giving you a structured and predictable journey to asset ownership.
- The Agreement: You sign a lease agreement to have a solar system installed on your property for a fixed term (often 7-15 years). This agreement includes a fixed, predictable monthly lease payment. Crucially, it also specifies the purchase price of the system at various points during or at the end of the lease term.
- The Installation (with little to no upfront cost): Solar EPC steps in and manages everything. We engineer a system perfectly tailored to your needs, handle all the permitting, procure the best equipment, and execute the full construction. You get a world-class solar asset on your property with minimal initial capital investment.
- The Lease Period: For the duration of the lease, you make your fixed monthly payments and enjoy the clean energy the system produces. During this time, the system owner (our financial partner) is responsible for all operations and maintenance. It’s a hassle-free period of savings for you.
- The Buyout: At the end of the lease term (or at pre-determined points), you have the option to purchase the system at the agreed-upon price. Once you exercise that option, the system is 100% yours.
The Benefits: Why a Lease-to-Own is an Intelligent Business Move
This model offers a unique combination of advantages that are perfect for businesses planning for the long term.
- ✅ Low Initial Capital Outlay: Just like a PPA or a standard lease, this model allows you to go solar without a massive upfront investment, preserving your capital for other core business needs.
- ✅ The Clear Path to Ownership: This is the key differentiator. You’re not just renting. You are actively working towards owning a valuable, 25+ year asset that will eventually provide you with virtually free electricity.
- ✅ Capture Long-Term Financial Value: Once you own the system, the savings become even more significant. You’ll no longer have a lease payment, and you may be able to take advantage of depreciation and other tax benefits associated with ownership (be sure to consult your tax advisor).
- ✅ Hassle-Free Operations During the Lease: For the entire lease period, you get the peace of mind that comes with professional management. All maintenance, monitoring, and repairs are handled for you, ensuring the system performs at its peak.
