Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about solar leasing and installation.

Do I need to own my home to lease solar?

Yes. Solar leasing typically requires that you own the property where the system will be installed.

Is there really no upfront cost?

Correct. Our leasing programs are designed to eliminate large initial investments, allowing you to start saving with little to no money down.

Who handles maintenance?

We do. Maintenance and monitoring are included in your lease, so you don’t have to worry about unexpected repair costs.

What happens if I sell my home?

In most cases, your lease can be transferred to the new homeowner, subject to approval. We’ll work with you to make the process as smooth as possible.

How much can I save?

Savings vary based on your energy usage and local utility rates, but many customers see immediate reductions of 10–30% on their electricity costs.

Do you install the systems yourselves?

We partner with licensed, experienced installers who handle all field work. SmartSave Renewables manages the process and remains your long-term point of contact.
