Residential Solar Service

Solar panels today are sleek, beautiful and more affordable than ever before. With energy costs on the rise, many more families are realizing that solar makes for a greener planet and a greener bank account. See how you can benefit too.

Getting Started

SolarCity manages everything you need to power your home with solar energy, from custom design and financing to installation and ongoing system monitoring.

All-in-One Solar Provider One of the advantages of working with SolarCity is that we take care of every step during your switch to clean power—including design, financing, permits, installation and ongoing monitoring. We make it easy and affordable to go solar with uncompromising service that has made us the industry leader.

Custom Designs for Your Home

We know every family and home is different. Our knowledgeable solar consultants will work with you to design a solar system to meet your energy needs, financial goals and architectural style. Our in-house engineering team will then draft a set of blueprints based on your goals and your home's architecture and electrical infrastructure.

Direct Financing with No Upfront Cost

SolarCity's financing options allow you to install a solar system with $0 down. The combination of your low monthly solar payment and new lower electricity bill is typically less than what you are currently paying the utility company, so you can save money every month. Financing directly with SolarCity instead of using a third party makes it easy for you to have a single point of contact and accountability for your system performance.

Commercial Solar Service

Rising electricity rates can quickly erode profit margins. If you've ever wanted to control energy costs for your business, it's time to investigate solar.

Lower Your Operating Costs from Day One

When your business begins to generate its own solar power, your utility bill will drop significantly.

The combination of your solar PPA payment and smaller electricity bill is typically less than what you pay the utility company today. As utility rates continue to rise, your savings will grow every year.

Competitive Low Price

We have streamlined our design and installation process to offer you faster service at the best price. SolarCity's construction experience and technology infrastructure allow us efficiently managing your project without compromising our quality or service.

Plus, our strong relationships with top module manufacturers allow us to offer high performance solar equipment at volume discount prices.

PPA Includes Maintenance and Monitoring

With our Power Purchase Agreement, you do not need to worry about ongoing maintenance costs. SolarCity owns the equipment and is responsible for maintenance and repairs.

The SolarCity service team continually monitors your system though our SolarGuard service to ensure that it is performing as it should. In the unlikely event that your system underperforms, we will alert you and help to remedy the situation.

SolarCity is the only all-in-one solar service provider with everything you need to power your business with clean solar energy—from design and financing to installation and ongoing monitoring. Our experience installing high quality solar systems and our value pricing have made us an industry leader.

SolarLease By SolarCity

At SolarCity we believe clean solar energy should be affordable for everyone. That's why we created the groundbreaking solar lease option SolarLease®, a way for homeowners to go solar without any upfront cost and save money from day one.

Go Solar for $0 Down

Now you can afford to go solar without the high initial cost of installing a system. Instead of buying the equipment, you simply lease it. SolarLease is the most popular residential solar financing option in the country!

Save on Electricity Costs from Day One

With a SolarLease, you pay as you go, instead of all at once. The combination of your low monthly lease payment and smaller electricity bill is typically less than what you pay the utility company today. So you can start saving money from the very first day.

Savings Grow Every Year

Your savings can grow over time as utility rates continue to increase. Historically, utility rates have increased over 5% every year. With SolarLease, you can lock in lower electricity rates for the term of your lease.

Includes Free Monitoring and Repair Service

With a SolarLease, you have peace of mind that your system will continue to perform beautifully for years to come. SolarLease includes SolarGuard® proactive monitoring for the full life of the lease. SolarGuard allows you and SolarCity to continuously monitor your system to ensure it is running smoothly and performing as expected.

In the unlikely event that your system underperforms, SolarCity will alert you and help to remedy the situation. We will send out a repair crew for free warrantee repairs over the life of the lease. This includes replacing a worn out part such as the inverter. The good news is that solar panels typically last up to 30 years or longer, and have few moving parts. So once systems are installed, they require little ongoing maintenance.

We Guarantee System Performance or We Will Pay You Back

We're so confident with our system installation and design that we guarantee your system will perform as promised or SolarCity will pay you the difference! Our guarantee considers normal weather variations and solar panel performance over time. We track your system performance through our SolarGuard monitoring service, so we know exactly how much energy it is producing every day, week, month and year!
