A solar lease is a fixed monthly payment with no panels to buy. The installer owns and maintains the system. Read the solar lease guide for terms, buyout and what happens if you sell.
With a solar PPA you pay for the electricity your panels produce, not for the panels. The installer owns and maintains the system, and you compare the per kWh rate with your utility rate.
With a solar loan or a cash purchase you own the system. Compare payment, total cost and payback, and ask which incentives still apply. The federal homeowner credit ended after 2025.
We are not tied to one installer or one financing company. We look at your roof, your utility and your bill, then show a real comparison of solar financing options instead of a single quote. That is the difference between a solar broker and an installer.
We compare PPA, lease, loan and cash offers instead of selling you one system. See the options we compare.

Where We Help
Utility rates, net metering rules and incentives differ by state and by utility, so we compare solar offers for your address instead of using one national answer. Browse all of our service areas or pick your state.
Compare solar PPA, lease, loan and cash offers if you are a PG&E, SCE or SDG&E customer, and see how NEM 3.0 changes the math for your roof and your usage.
Electric rates are high across the state, and what is available depends on your utility and town. We check your options for National Grid, Eversource or Unitil service, and explain how net metering and state programs may apply.
A solar lease fits homeowners who want a predictable payment and do not want to own or maintain equipment, for example a California homeowner who wants a fixed payment instead of a bill that moves with PG&E rates. We compare lease offers for your roof and usage, then explain the term, the yearly increase and the buyout.
A solar PPA fits homeowners who want a lower bill without owning equipment. You pay a per kWh rate for the power the system produces, so compare the starting rate, the yearly escalator and your current utility rate. Availability depends on your address, utility and installer partner.
Owning fits homeowners who want the system on their own roof with no power agreement. We compare solar loan terms, the cash price and the payback period, and we explain which incentives still apply to your address.
I tried getting quotes from a couple of installers on my own and none of it made sense. Collective Power checked my roof and my bill, then showed me the options that fit.
Collective Power showed me three offers side by side. I picked the one that fit my home, with no pressure at all.
Yes. Requesting a solar quote takes a few minutes, costs nothing and carries no obligation. We use your address, utility and electric bill to see which solar financing options are available, then show you the numbers before you decide anything.
A solar broker compares offers from several installers and financing partners for you, instead of selling one system. Collective Power does not install panels. We work for the homeowner, explain each option in plain English and match you with a vetted local installer whose offer fits your home.
With a solar PPA you pay a per kWh rate for the power the system produces. With a solar lease you pay a fixed monthly amount to use it. With a solar loan or a cash purchase you own the system. Our solar financing options page compares all four side by side.
Some solar PPA and solar lease offers start with no upfront cost, and some solar loans have no down payment. What is available depends on your address, credit and installer partner, so always ask for the full cost over the whole term. Get your quote and we will show what is open to you.
For many homeowners it can be, but the math changed after NEM 3.0. Exported power now earns lower credits, so how much solar you use at home matters. We compare offers for PG&E, SCE and SDG&E customers and explain the trade offs on our California solar page. A solar PPA is one option to compare against your utility rate.
It depends on your utility, your roof and your bill. Massachusetts has net metering, and the SMART program and tax exemptions may apply to some systems, but programs change and rules differ for leased and owned systems. We check what is available at your address. See our Massachusetts solar page or request a quote.
Cost depends on system size, equipment and your roof, so a real quote matters more than an average. The federal 30 percent homeowner credit ended for systems placed in service after 2025, so ask installers which incentives still apply. Our cash purchase guide and solar loan guide explain what buyers should compare. This is not tax advice, so talk to a tax professional.
No. We are a brokerage, not an installer. We check your eligibility and match you with one of our installer partners whose offer fits your home. You can read how our solar brokerage works or compare the options we offer.
We help homeowners in California and Massachusetts. Browse our service areas, or go straight to California or Massachusetts. Availability depends on your address and utility, so check your address to see your options.
Ask for one comparison instead of many separate quotes. When you request your solar quote, we review your home once and show offers side by side, with no pushy sales calls. The solar financing options page explains what to look for in each offer.
It depends on the agreement. Many solar PPAs and solar leases can transfer to the buyer or be bought out, and an owned system stays with the house. Read the transfer and buyout terms before you sign, and ask us to point them out when we compare offers.
From signing to switch on, it often takes a couple of months or more, depending on design, permits and utility approval. Your installer partner gives you a timeline, and we stay your point of contact. Start with a quote to see what yours would look like.
Rates, seasonal use and air conditioning or heating all push bills up. Solar can offset part of what you buy from the utility, and a solar PPA or solar lease can replace part of it with a different payment. We compare offers against your actual bill so you can see the difference. Get your quote.
