Solar finance options

Lease-to-own is the default way to pay: nothing upfront, pay a fixed monthly fee, and the solar equipment becomes yours for R1 at the end of the term.

For companies with the resources available, we do cash installations. For landlords wanting to earn more by selling power, we also model and install Power Purchase Agreements where landlords can sell power generated from solar to their tenants.
