We Offer Financing

Monthly Savings & No Electricity Bill

Even with a monthly payment on a solar loan, you will save money each month without an electricity bill. While the costs of electricity increase (about 6.7% each year), you can translate those rising costs into increased savings while each year you are paying down your loan principal.

• 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



Save with Smith Solar

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.
