Solar Loans & Financing


There is now a way for EVERYONE to go solar.

Niese FamilyWe know one size does not fit all, which is why we have multiple pathways to solar including no-money-down solar loans, our safer solar lease, our popular partial prepaid lease, and of course direct cash payment.

As an employee‑owned B Corp, we take pride in delivering solutions that put people first. Our financing options reflect our commitment to transparency, long‑term value, and our mission to build a just and equitable electric future for all New Englanders.

Cash 

The most straightforward of our financing options, a cash payment offers extremely strong returns. It also offers the most flexibility in terms of equipment choice (panel manufacturer, inverter brand, etc.). All incentives and electric bill savings are yours, from day 1, it's that simple. 

The graph below shows the differences between going solar with a no-money-down loan versus paying for the entire system in cash.

The residential solar tax credit is no longer available, but homeowners can still leverage the commercial solar tax credit through our PowerPath financing option. Through the Amicus Impact Cooperative (made up of ReVision and our trusted, mission-driven partners), PowerPath is your fastest pathway to solar ownership while taking advantage of 20-30% off the total cost of the system.

ReVision Amicus Impact owns your system for the first 5 years (due to IRS requirements) while you get all of the energy it produces from day one. The program is designed so that after 5 years, ownership can transfer to you. This option is great for people who want to ultimately own their system, but missed out on the pre-2026 tax credit and still want to get a significant discount on their system.

Unlike traditional financing, Amicus Impact is a 100% member-owned public benefit corporation. That means fewer fees, fewer complications, and a program built by a cooperative specifically to support the growth of solar, not to generate profits for third parties.

Why Amicus PowerPath?

  1. Save up to 30% Instantly: You don’t have to wait for a tax rebate
  2. Option to Own Your System After 5 Years: But use all the energy from day 1, dramatically reducing your electric bills​​​​​​​
  3. No Investors, No Shareholders, No Credit ChecksThat means fewer fees and fewer complications.

Historically, solar leases have been structured to benefit the financier, not families looking for energy stability. Traditional residential leases have high annual escalators combined with unclear system ownership and so accountability.

But with our safer solar lease you can put no money down and make your own electricity at a rate that is less than what you currently pay the utility. And because our 25-year lease has a 0% annual escalator, you’ll enjoy a fixed monthly payment that will never change. If your payment starts at $110 per month, it will still be $110 per month in 2050. This means that as utility rates continue to rise, your savings grow right along with them.

Our solar lease is our most “hands-off” program with a 25-year performance guarantee. And because our leasing partner owns the system for its 25-year lifetime, monitoring and standard maintenance is handled at no cost to you.

What's Different About This Solar Lease?

  1. 0% Payment Escalator: Your monthly payment stays flat for the entire lease.
  2. Hands-Off Experience: Monitoring, maintenance, and system performance are managed for you.​​​​​​​
  3. Built-In Protection: Our design team maximizes customer security to keep every leased system we install running smoothly.

A solar loan enables you to finance solar plus its complementary tech – batteries, heat pumps, water heaters, electric vehicle charger – all for an affordable monthly payment with no upfront cost. Similar to any other home related loan, solar loans enable a homeowner to finance a home solar project by borrowing money from a lender. The loan is paid back over a decided number of years, plus interest, in monthly installments.

We are very selective when it comes to picking our solar loan partners. Our loan partners enable loans for up to $100k for solar, heat pumps, water heaters, batteries, and EV charging.

Clean Energy Credit Union

We also partner with Clean Energy Credit Union to offer lower rates for some projects and financing to own community solar farm shares. We are proud to partner with them because know they share in our mission to build a just and equitable electric future. We also know that they are driven to keep their costs down and provide the best possible loans to accelerate the clean energy transition as a non-profit credit union. 

EastRise Credit Union 

We also partner with EastRise Credit Union, a New England-based credit union. Created when New England Federal Credit Union and Vermont State Employees Credit Union joined forces in 2023, EastRise is a mission-driven credit union that prioritizes people over profit. They are part of the Global Alliance for Banking on Values. 

Benefits of a Solar Loan

Unlike other loans, a solar loan grants you ownership of an asset (solar panels) that provide you with significant long-term savings, even as you pay off the loan.

  1. No upfront cost: Own your solar power without needing to pay the entire upfront sum
  2. Immediate solar benefits: Enjoy clean, sun-powered energy while you pay off your loan, as soon as your panels are installed
  3. Consistent long-term savings: Save on electricity costs over the lifetime of your system, as your loan payment remains constant regardless of utility rate hikes.
