Propel
Propel is a prepaid PPA structured as a loan. For the first 5 years, a third party owns the system and the customer makes fixed monthly payments — just like a PPA. At Year 5, ownership automatically transfers to the customer. Payments never change and there is no escalator.
Energy community checker — California
Use the Baker Tilly map to check if the customer's address qualifies for the 40% tax credit instead of the standard 30%. This will be directly applied to their loan.
Loan kicks in on the day the system is installed and monthly payments begin immediately
A third party technically holds ownership of the system for the first 5 years — this is what allows the tax credit benefit to be built into the loan pricing
First payment is due 75 days after installation is complete
At Year 5, ownership transfers automatically to the customer — payment stays exactly the same
At Year 25, the loan is fully paid off and the customer owns the system free and clear

Sales Process
1. Use the Baker Tilly energy community map to check if the address qualifies for the 40% tax credit (vs. standard 30%)
3. Go to Product Comparison, select Project Type: Propel. If energy community eligible, select that option. Enter pricing using Propel Deal Pricing logic — default assumes Very Good credit (8.79% APR)
4. Run a QuickCheck (soft pull) to pre-qualify and determine credit tier and monthly payment
5. Submit the full application. Customer signs CA disclosures, prepaid energy agreement, installation agreement, and loan note
6. Customer enters payment method details
7. Upload a complete utility bill — missing pages, poor image quality, or past-due balance will cause funding delays
8. Customer completes the Verification Call — make sure they have ready: installation address, borrower name(s), phone and email on file, loan amount and term, APR and ACH enrollment status, application number and loan number
Example Verification Call Transcript
Question
Confirm the complete address where the system will be installed is 3214 NW Loraine St, Fort Worth, TX 76106.
Answer
Yes
Question
Are the names of the borrower(s) on the account: Jordan Tallman Notify?
Answer
Yes
Question
Is the primary borrower's phone number (734) 883-8340?
Answer
Yes
Question
Is the primary borrower's email address on file?
Answer
Yes
Question
Have you received, reviewed and signed your Energy Services Agreement (ESA) and Installation Agreement?
Answer
Yes
Question
By signing your ESA, you've elected the Early Buyout Option (EBO), which means you'll purchase your system automatically following the end of Contract Year 5. You've chosen to finance the cost of this purchase through a loan, which allows the Early Buyout Funds to be paid on your behalf after 5 years. The EBO represents the best purchase price for system ownership under the terms of your ESA. Please confirm your understanding.
Answer
Yes
Question
Under your ESA, the system will be owned by SolSource, but your loan includes the Early Buyout funds to cover the automatic transfer of ownership to you after Year 5. Any tax credits or incentives associated with the system will belong to SolSource in their capacity as owner. Please confirm your understanding of ownership.
Answer
Yes
Question
SolSource provides a Performance Guarantee for the first 5 years, and every two years, they will review your system's performance. If it's below the guaranteed production, you will receive a refund to compensate for this difference. To receive the Performance Guarantee, you must maintain a working high speed Internet connection to the monitoring device of your system. Please confirm your understanding of the Performance Guarantee.
Answer
Yes
Question
Have you received, reviewed and signed your loan agreement and Right to Cancel Form?
Answer
Yes
Question
Please confirm the term of your loan agreement.
Answer
25 years
Question
Please confirm the total amount financed per your loan agreement.
Answer
[loan amount]
Question
Under the terms of your loan agreement, you may cancel at any time without penalty prior to midnight of the cancellation date. Business days do not include Saturdays, Sundays or federal holidays. Please confirm that you understand your cancellation deadline.
Answer
Yes
Question
The APR for your financing term is [rate]%. If you've signed up for recurring ACH payments at the time you signed your loan agreement, the APR will be discounted by 0.5%. If you've signed up to make payments via check or non-recurring ACH payments, your APR will remain at the standard rate. You may change your recurring ACH enrollment status at any point. Do you understand your payment options?
Answer
Yes
Question
Under your loan agreement, the loan has three reamortizations at pay periods 12, 24, and 36. If you prepay the principal balance in advance of any reamortization date, your scheduled monthly payments may be reduced. You are not obligated to make any lump sum prepayments; this is optional. Please confirm your understanding.
Answer
Yes
Question
Do you understand that any estimates regarding your potential electric bill savings and future increases in electricity prices are simply projections, not a guarantee?
Answer
Yes
Question
Do you understand that you will have utility charges separate from your loan payment, and may still have to purchase additional electricity from the utility company based on your energy consumption?
Answer
Yes
GoodLeap
GoodLeap is a PPA — the homeowner never owns the system. GoodLeap owns it, installs it, and maintains it for the full 25-year term. The customer pays for the power the system produces each month at a rate below what they'd pay the utility. Plans include a fixed annual escalator from 0% to 3.59%, agreed upon at signing.
How It Works
GoodLeap owns the system for the entire 25-year term — the customer never takes ownership
The customer pays a fixed monthly rate for the electricity the system produces, not for the system itself
The rate is set below the customer's current utility cost and includes a fixed annual escalator (0%–3.59%) chosen at signing
GoodLeap is responsible for all maintenance, repairs, and monitoring for the full term
NTP must be obtained within 60 days of the credit check — GoodLeap will cancel the project if not met
After five years on the agreement, customers have the option to buy the system outright — the price is based on either the fair market value or the scheduled contract price, whichever is higher; GoodLeap pays for the appraisal; the buyout price drops every year, so the longer the customer stays on the agreement, the cheaper it gets to own the system

If the utility bill shows a past-due balance of $1,000 or more, the project will be rejected. The account must be fully paid and current before you can proceed.
If the utility bill shows a disconnection or shut-off notice, the project will be rejected regardless of the past-due amount. The account must be fully paid, active, and free of any notices before you can proceed.
LightReach
LightReach is a PPA offered through Palmetto — the homeowner never owns the system. Palmetto owns, installs, and maintains it for the full 25-year term. The customer pays a fixed monthly rate for the power produced, set below their current utility cost. Plans include a fixed annual escalator from 0% to 3.59%, chosen at signing.
How It Works

First payment is typically due 30 days after PTO is granted and meaningful production is measured
Customers receive their first bill approximately 15 days after PTO
30-day billing cycles with 15-day payment terms
A customer can purchase the system starting in year 6, if they sell their home during the term, or at the end of the 25 years — the buyout price is based on fair market value determined by a third-party appraiser at the time of purchase

Cash
The homeowner pays the installer directly for the full cost of equipment and installation. No monthly payments, no financing, no third party. Once installed and paid for, the customer owns the system outright and keeps 100% of the energy savings going forward.
How It Works
The customer pays the full cost of the system directly — no loan, no monthly payments
Ownership begins on the day of installation
A $1,000 deposit is collected at signing to initiate the project
50% of the total is due at install scheduling to cover materials
The remaining 50% is due on the day of installation
The customer keeps 100% of the energy savings from day one and is eligible to claim the federal tax credit directly
