Solar Financing & Incentives

Solar financing and incentives make it easier and more affordable to install solar panels at your California home or business. Six Rivers Solar works with a variety of financing companies and can help you find a solar loan that fits your needs the best. We want to make sure the right financing is available for your solar system purchase and will work with you to find an option that makes sense for your project and budget. 

Solar Panel Financing Options

When it comes to solar financing in California, you have a few different options to choose from:

Talk to Your Bank 

One method of financing your solar purchase is to reach out to your own bank, the benefit being that you likely already have an established relationship with them that will make securing financing for your system simple and easy. 

Coast Central Credit Union’s HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) is an excellent option from a local bank that can be used to finance your solar installation. 

Sungage Financial 

If you would like to explore solar financing outside of your own bank, Sungage Financial is a great option. Sungage makes solar financing simple and convenient for homeowners, offering: 

  • Zero-down solar financing 
  • Low monthly payments
  • Easy online application 
  • On-the-spot approval

Ygrene is another excellent solar financing company that makes solar panel and battery installation more affordable. Ygrene offers easy solar financing with: 

  • Zero-down financing options 
  • Fixed interest rates available 
  • Easy online application 
  • Fast approval

Solar Incentives

Solar is essential to a clean energy future! To make it easier for homeowners and businesses to go solar, the government offers incentives for solar installation. You can qualify for solar incentives whether you finance your solar system or pay with cash.

Some of the best solar incentives that are currently available include: 

The Federal Solar Tax Credit 

The federal solar tax credit, also known as the solar Investment Tax Credit or ITC, allows homeowners and businesses to reduce their federal tax liability by a percentage of their total solar installation costs. 

The solar tax credit is currently worth 30%. The ITC is on a step-down schedule, however. It will be reduced in 2033 and eliminated for residential solar in 2035.

MACRS Depreciation for Commercial Solar 

MACRS depreciation is a commercial solar incentive that allows businesses to recover some of the costs of their solar installation through accelerated depreciation. Qualifying solar equipment is eligible for a cost recovery period of five years as opposed to the usual ten year depreciation period. If the ITC is also claimed, the solar owner must reduce the project’s depreciable basis by ½ the value of the ITC. 

Solar Net Metering 

Net metering is one of the best solar incentives in CA. Net metering allows you to trade the excess electricity your solar panels produce to your utility in exchange for credits that can be used to pay for the electricity you may need to buy from the grid when your solar panels are not producing electricity.
