Through one SREC program, Sol Upfront, customers can receive immediate financing for their systems. Sol Systems will purchase all estimated SREC production for a 10-year period, providing customers with a one-time, lump-sum payment that can be used to pay off installation costs. The Sol Annuity SREC option allows customers to lock in the current SREC rate and receive payments for each full SREC produced. This gives customers reliable, quarterly payments as solar energy is generated.
Standard Solar is also participating in Sol Lease, which allows Washington DC homeowners, schools, churches, businesses and non-profits to secure solar energy with no up-front costs. By paying a fixed, monthly payment, these groups can enjoy the savings and benefits of solar energy produced from a solar energy system for a 10-year contract term.
