FAQs

Why should manufacturers and national integrators consider a residential solar leasing program?

By offering a financing option, such as a solar lease, to residential customers, manufacturers and integrators will be able to close more sales. The lease is attractive to homeowners who do not have the money to purchase a system outright, and also appeals to those who can afford to purchase the system, but don’t want the hassles of ownership. BrightGrid is an experienced financial partner in the renewable energy industry and provides its partners with a full-service financing platform so they can go to market immediately, using their own brand name and maintaining primary control of their solar customer relationships. In addition to quick, easy to use proposal and credit application tools, BrightGrid provides marketing and sales support, including custom-branded advertising materials and on-going sales training and an in-field sales staff.

Since BrightGrid is a full-service renewable energy finance company, our solar lease provides an entrée for manufacturers and integrators thinking beyond solar and who want to be poised to tap business opportunities in the next wave: “smart home” energy management.

Why is BrightGrid the best partner for manufacturers and national integrators?

BrightGrid’s business model is entirely complementary to the channel. Our private-label and co-branded options enable our partners to build on their own brand and maintain their customer relationships. BrightGrid provides an end-to-end, in-house leasing capability that ensures a quick, easy and successful transition into the solar leasing marketplace. And, our partners feel comfortable working with BrightGrid’s leasing professionals who have experience in the renewable energy and financial services industries.

What are the benefits to the homeowners of the BrightGrid private-label lease?

A BrightGrid private-label lease offers homeowners the convenience of one-stop-shopping: they work with their local installer to select, finance and install the solar energy system. BrightGrid’s in-house credit application and approval system is easy to use, secure and fast — most applicants receive same-day credit approval. And, leasing enables the homeowner to enjoy all the benefits of going solar without the hassles of ownership: system maintenance, monitoring, insurance, inverter replacement and system removal at the end of the term are included under the lease.
