Solar Lease FAQ, California Solar & Electric

1. What is a solar lease?

The lessor owns the solar system installed on your property. You pay a monthly fee that’s typically lower than your utility bill. It’s a hassle‑free way to go solar with no upfront cost.

2. How does Solar Lease differ from buying a solar system?

When you buy a system, you own the equipment and handle maintenance and warranties. With solar lease, the lessor owns and maintains the system, and you pay a monthly fee.

3. What costs are covered under Solar Lease?

Design, installation, monitoring, repairs, warranty management, and performance checks are all included.

4. Can I prepay or buy the system later?

Yes. You can prepay the full remaining balance and own the system outright. See your agreement for details.

5. How much can I expect to save?

Savings vary depending on your energy usage and roof conditions, but most customers save 40% to 80% compared to their utility rates.

6. What happens if I move?

You can transfer the lease to the new homeowner, or pay off the agreement before selling. Many buyers view a solar lease as an added value since it lowers utility costs.

7. Is maintenance included?

Yes. CS&E handles monitoring and warranty service throughout the lease term.

8. What equipment do you use?

We partner with leading solar panel, battery and inverter manufacturers to ensure reliability, high performance, and long‑term efficiency.

10. What is Propel financing?

Propel (via Concert Finance) is a financing program designed specifically for residential solar and battery storage installations. It provides homeowners with structured payment options that make solar energy more accessible while allowing them to benefit from available solar incentives.

11. How does Propel help lower the cost of solar?

Propel allows eligible homeowners to apply solar tax credits and incentives,  potentially up to 40% toward their system, reducing the net cost of installing solar panels and battery storage.

12. What financing options does Propel offer?

Propel offers two main financing structures:

Structured Ownership Model
A financing option that allows homeowners to eventually own their solar system while paying for it through manageable monthly payments.

Solar Lease Model
A simple option where homeowners can install solar with predictable monthly payments without purchasing the system upfront.

13. Can Propel be used with solar batteries?

Yes. Propel financing supports both solar panel systems and battery storage, allowing homeowners to install a complete energy solution.

14. Who qualifies for Propel financing?

Eligibility depends on factors such as the property, energy usage, and financing qualifications. Our team reviews each project individually to determine eligibility.

15. How can I check if my home qualifies?

The easiest way is to request a custom solar quote. Our team will review your property and present the available solar system options and financing solutions.
