Solar roof panels are an excellent option for reducing your carbon footprint and decreasing your dependence on power supplied by utility companies, while saving on monthly bills. However, the initial financial output required can create a roadblock for many homeowners. SolarCity has introduced a new solar system leasing program that may benefit those who wish to avoid a substantial upfront expenditure.

The 15-year “SolarLease” includes free repair service as well as "SolarGuard", a monitoring service that allows clients to access a personal web page to view their system’s performance. Information about the cumulative financial and environmental benefits of the installation is also available. When the solar system leasing program has reached full term, homeowners have the option of purchasing the system, upgrading to a new system or having the panels removed. Leases can be transferred in the event of a sale.
Bloggers at www.savewithsunlight.com provide testimonials about their positive experience with the leasing program.
