The 30% federal residential tax credit ended December 31, 2025, so a lot of homeowners assume the door closed. It didn't. With PG&E rates where they are, the prepaid lease was built for exactly this moment: priced below cash, ownership at year 6, and no monthly loan hanging over you.

Three ways to go solar. One that ends in ownership.

Compare the honest tradeoffs side by side, then see where the prepaid lease lands.

Buy in cash

Large one-time outlay

  • You own it from day one
  • Highest upfront cost of the three
  • All the risk sits with you
  • No financing partner involved
  • No monthly payment
Smart Pick

Prepaid lease

Own it at year 6

  • Priced below buying in cash
  • Pay once, or finance via Travis Credit Union
  • Little-to-no ongoing electric cost
  • You own the system in year 6
  • No credit check to qualify · no lien · transferable

Traditional lease

You rent, forever

  • You never own the system
  • Payments that can escalate over time
  • Low upfront cost
  • Can complicate a home sale
  • Provider keeps the asset
