Stellar Solar Now Offering Solar Lease and Financing Options

Stellar Solar, one of California’s leading commercial solar and residential solar installers since 1998, is now offering a residential solar lease and solar financing for homeowners in San Diego County who want to go solar for $0 down. Solar leases and solar financing have never been offered by a manufacturer with the financial stability of SunPower — or combined with the planet’s most powerful solar panels.

You can now go solar with $0 down and low monthly payments.

“These new options are perfect for homeowners who are looking for an alternative to the upfront costs of purchasing solar,” said Michael Powers, VP of Sales and Marketing at Stellar Solar. “The SunPower Lease offers a no-money-down solution that can reduce or eliminate your existing electric bill completely. For about what you’re paying to SDG&E every month, you can go solar and pay SDG&E little or nothing at all. It’s like trading in your old power bill for a new solar power bill.” He added, “The SunPower financing or loan program is also a very viable option for homeowners as it enables them to also go solar for no money down and still gain all the financial benefits of actually owning their systems.”

Stellar Solar has been installing SunPower solar panels since 2001 and find them to be a favorite among many solar customers because of superior appearance, design and quality. Many San Diego homeowners also prefer to buy their solar panels from an American company and SunPower is based in Silicon Valley.

“These projects also highlight our standing as a significant player in the commercial solar space. All three are high-profile installations are a testament to our highly-experienced team of design and installation professionals,” added Stellar’s founder and president, Kent Harle.
