Solar is easy. Financing it intelligently is the hard part. See which solar financing pathways may fit your home, energy needs and financial situation.
Why The Solar Guys?
Better Financing. Competitive Solar. Long-Term Protection.
We are a Northern California company that treats the financial structure behind your system as seriously as the equipment on your roof — because it changes what you actually pay.
Better Financing
We specialize in finding financing structures that make solar more affordable, including options through local and regional financial partners.
$0-Down Options
Qualified homeowners may be able to install solar without a large upfront payment, subject to lender approval and program terms.
PPA Options
For customers who prefer an alternative to traditional solar ownership, PPA agreements may be available.
Multiple Battery Options
We work with leading battery technologies and can help you compare options based on your backup goals, usage and electrical setup.
Competitive Pricing
Our financing-focused approach helps us put together competitive proposals. We compare quotes with you line by line rather than promising a fixed percentage below everyone else.
25-Year Workmanship Protection
Our 25-year full workmanship agreement is designed to give customers long-term peace of mind. Coverage and exclusions are detailed in your agreement.
Pricing comparisons depend on system size, equipment, financing structure and contract terms. Any comparison is only meaningful between comparable systems and comparable financing. *$0-down financing is available to qualified customers only and is subject to lender credit approval, program availability, system design, and final contract terms. Not all applicants qualify.
Free, no obligation

Battery storage that fits
We work with multiple battery manufacturers and technologies — which can include brands such as Tesla, FranklinWH and LG among other compatible systems, subject to availability. The right choice depends on your backup goals, not on what we happen to stock.
Already have solar? We service it.
System not producing, inverter faulting, monitoring dark, or an array that was undersized from day one? We repair, optimize and expand systems installed by other companies — including ones whose installer is no longer in business.
Commercial solar for Northern California businesses
Commercial projects start with interval load data, not a rule of thumb. We look at demand charges, usage shape, storage and financing structure together, then present options your CPA can actually evaluate.
