Not All Solar Is Created Equal — See What Many Homeowners Miss
Solar energy now costs far less than fossil fuels — but there are a few pitfalls.
Why Millions Are Going Solar
Solar energy now costs far less than fossil fuels — and it’s transforming how families power their homes. With federal and state incentives, solar power is 10%–50% cheaper than traditional utility rates across the U.S.
By switching to solar, you can:
Save tens of thousands on utility bills
Lock in a lower rate and avoid endless utility price hikes
Protect the planet while building long-term financial security
As energy demand continues to rise, take control of your power — and your savings.
Most Common Misunderstandings and Risks
Solar is a really rare purchase, which has a design life period of 25 years. Learning from past expeirence is hard; hence we summarized the most common misunderstandings and risking of going solar.
The Biggest Solar Misunderstanding
Many homeowners still believe solar requires a large upfront investment.
In reality, there are four flexible purchase options:
Thanks to today’s solar financing options, you can go solar with no money down.
If your credit score is 600 or higher, you may qualify instantly.
✅ No upfront payment
✅ Immediate savings
✅ Top-tier installation and support
Plus, federal and local incentives cover up to 50% in tax credits, including costs for roof or electrical panel upgrades.
Note: Cash purchases will no longer qualify for federal credits after Jan 1, 2026, but leasing (PPA) programs are extended through 2027, with some providers eligible up to 2030.
Energy Independence for Every Home
Add battery storage and keep your lights on during outages — often included through free installation programs backed by state and federal incentives.
The Biggest Solar Misunderstanding
Many homeowners still believe solar requires a large upfront investment.
In reality, there are four flexible solar purchase options:
Cash purchase
Prepaid lease
PPA (Power Purchase Agreement)
Loan financing
Surprisingly, most homeowners have already chosen PPA or leasing options before the federal tax credit phase-out.
With the end of the 30% cash-purchase tax credit, leasing has become the mainstream choice for going solar.
The Real Risk of Going Solar
The biggest risk isn’t the panels — it’s the company behind them.
