Solar Financing in 2026: Cash, Loan, or Lease
Three paths to solar, three different return profiles.
Cash purchase: highest lifetime return, fastest payback, full federal tax credit captured directly. Best for homeowners with available capital.
Solar loan: ownership benefits with no upfront cost. Many DFW homeowners find that the loan payment is less than their old electric bill.
Solar lease: zero upfront cost, predictable monthly payment, the leasing company captures the tax credit. Lower total savings but easiest path to going solar with no out-of-pocket cost.
We walk through all three paths during your free consultation so you can pick what fits your situation.
