• 0% down (for qualified borrowers)
• 3.49-5.49% rates
• 12-year term
• We will help you with a solar loan from Wheelhouse Credit Union

Electric Bill Savings
Once you have Smith Solar, your electricity bill goes down to about $0 per month ($15 in fees and charges but $0 charges for electricity). Instead of paying $360 per month (or $4,315 per year) for electricity, you can pay your savings account and watch it grow! Save $58,784 in 10 years. Save $386,275 in 30 years! In addition, you’re protected from the rising costs of electricity.
Property Value Increase
When you install solar at your home: increase our property value (each $1 in energy bill savings adds $20 to your home’s total value); receive a higher asking price; and help your home sell 20% faster as properties without solar installations.
