Upsolar's Energy Freedom Loan Program allows residential customers to overcome the primary barriers of solar adoption, such as upfront costs and lease commitments, while knowing their PV system is powered by Solectria's state of the art, single-phase, residential inverters. This program's performance solution also includes Upsolars high quality modules and racking.
"As more homeowners elect to own PV systems instead of locking into long-term lease agreements, it is the perfect opportunity to offer an integrated technology and financing solution, said Stephane Dufrenne, President of Upsolar America. Dufrenne added, With Solectria and third-party financing, we are taking an important step towards simplifying and lowering costs of system ownership for residential customers.
Partnerships like this have established Solectria as a leading inverter manufacturer. Upsolar has designed a model that is simplifying the process for homeowners to own and benefit from their own PV systems, said John Lavelle, Regional Sales Manager of Solectria Renewables.
This partnership reflects a trend in residential solar away from solar leasing to loan options and direct ownership of PV systems. This trend is driven by the declining costs of solar components, including PV modules and inverters, bringing solar investments within reach for homeowners.
