To be the solar brokerage homeowners in California and Massachusetts trust to find the right way to go solar.
Collective Power is an independent solar brokerage for homeowners in California and Massachusetts.

Our job is to compare the options available at your address and match you with the installer partner that fits your home.
Most homeowners hear from one company and have to guess whether the offer is fair. We do the comparing for you: a solar PPA, a solar lease, a solar loan and a cash purchase, each measured against what you pay your utility today. Not sure where to start? Look at our solar financing options or browse the areas we serve.
We match you with installers that hold the licenses and insurance required where they work and stand behind their workmanship.

Broker Vs Installer
Both can help you go solar, but they work in different ways. An installer designs and installs a system and usually sells you the financing it offers. A broker compares offers from several installers so you can choose with more information.

Tell us about your roof, your average electric bill and where the home is. We check which utility serves you, such as PG&E, SCE or SDG&E in California, or Eversource, National Grid or Unitil in Massachusetts, and whether solar looks workable. It takes a few minutes and costs nothing. Start your solar quote.
Your matched installer designs the system, handles the permits it needs and installs it. We stay reachable afterward if you have questions about your agreement or your bill. Have a question now? Read the FAQ below or contact us.
Collective Power is an independent solar brokerage that helps homeowners in California and Massachusetts compare solar PPA, lease, loan and cash purchase offers from installer partners. We do not install panels ourselves. We show you the options for your address and match you with the partner that fits. See all of our solar financing options.
An installer designs, installs and services a system, and usually quotes the financing it offers. A solar broker like Collective Power compares offers from several installer partners, so you can see a PPA, a lease, a loan and a cash price next to each other before you sign. You still sign with the installer that does the work. Start your solar quote to see the comparison for your home.
There is no fee to homeowners for checking eligibility or getting matched. We are paid by our installer partners when a match works out. You always see the offer terms from the installer before you sign anything, so you can compare them with your utility rate. Read how each option works on our services page or request a quote.
We look for installers that hold the licenses and insurance required where they work, stand behind their workmanship with warranties and follow through after the panels go up. When you ask for a quote, we check your roof, your utility bill and your goals, then see which partner has a PPA, lease or loan offer that fits your address.
No. We match you with the installer we think fits your home best instead of sending your details to a long list of companies. That is one reason homeowners use a broker rather than filling out forms on several installer websites. Read our privacy policy to see how information is handled, or contact us with questions.
Utility rates, net metering rules and incentives change from state to state and even by utility. Focusing on two states lets us keep up with the utilities homeowners deal with, such as PG&E, SCE and SDG&E in California and Eversource, National Grid and Unitil in Massachusetts. See our California solar page, our Massachusetts solar page or all of the areas we serve.
No. Collective Power is an independent brokerage. We are not a utility or a government program, and we are not tied to one installer or one financing company. That is why we can compare a solar PPA, a solar lease, a solar loan and a cash purchase instead of pushing a single option.
No. Which options you can get depends on your address, utility and installer partner. A solar PPA, lease, loan or cash purchase may not be available everywhere, so we confirm what applies to your home when we compare offers. See the state pages for California and Massachusetts, or browse our service areas.
Compare the monthly payment or per kWh rate, how much it can rise each year, the length of the agreement, who owns and maintains the system, and what happens if you sell your home. With a PPA or a lease the installer usually owns the system, while a loan or cash purchase makes you the owner. We lay these out side by side in your free comparison.
We review your roof, your electric bill and your address, check which solar options may be available where you live and compare them. Then we match you with the installer partner that fits, and you decide whether to move forward. There is no obligation. Get your solar quote or call (877) 840-4504.
