Pay for Power, Not Panels (Virtual Power Agreement)

Best for: homeowners who want zero upfront cost, included battery backup, and nothing to maintain.

The Virtual Power Agreement (VPA) is the simplest way to go solar. Instead of buying a system, you pay for the clean power your roof produces — at a rate that's locked in from day one. There's no system to buy, nothing to maintain, and your home joins a network that works alongside the utility to help keep the grid stable.

Why people choose it:

• $0 down. Nothing out of pocket to get started.

• Battery storage included at no extra cost — keep your home (or your critical circuits) running through the next storm.

• Owned, insured, and maintained for you for the long haul — if anything ever needs service, it's covered.

• A production guarantee, so if the system ever underproduces, you're made whole.

• Simple to qualify — no hard credit check just to find out if you're a fit.

• A buyout option down the road if you decide you'd rather own it.

The trade-off compared to buying is that the provider owns the system (and the incentives that go with it). In exchange, you carry none of the upfront cost, none of the maintenance, and none of the risk — while still locking in power for less than you'd pay the utility.

Already have solar? Add a battery.

If you already own a solar system and want backup power for outages, we can add battery storage to your existing setup (a "retrofit"). It lets you store the power your panels already make, so you've got energy at night and resilience when the grid goes down. (Note: our $0-down offer applies to new solar-plus-battery installations rather than battery-only retrofits — but we'll lay out the options and honest numbers for adding storage.)
