Sojourner Solar provides a level of affordability to purchase and own a solar power system not offered by most traditional for-profit solar companies. According to a recent Consumer Reports article, the key distinction between purchasing and leasing a solar panel system is ownership. Depending on the financial goals of the homeowner, owning a system outweighs the benefits of leasing a system from a third party for the following reasons:
- No upfront costs
- Homeowners may benefit from available solar tax credits and incentives
- Affordable fixed financing available for eligible homeowners
- Interest may be tax-deductible
- Home appreciates in value
- Transfer ownership with sale of the home
- Saves more on electricity costs than leasing options
