Alternatives for Going Solar in Antioch

Choosing to “go green” by going solar in Antioch has never been more important; nor has it been easier. You can reduce the skyrocketing costs of PG&E and their soaring utility bills by installing a Photovoltaic (PV) solar-electric system. Solar energy is rapidly becoming the typical method homeowners in the Bay Area use to power their homes. Diablo Solar has been providing solar energy services to Antioch’s residents for more than 28 years!
If your goal is to become energy independent, you have many options available from which to choose. With so much experience, you can depend upon Diablo Solar Services’ highly skilled Solar System Designers. We offer a no-cost in-home assessment to help us create the most effective solar-electric system obtainable. This provides you with many options when deciding to go solar in Antioch:

  1. Make an outright purchase for the solar energy system. This option offers Antioch residents the highest savings. The PV systems installed today include a 25 year power production warranty on the panels (modules). Each system has an expected lifespan of up to 50 years!
  2. Make delayed or deferred payments. One benefit of purchasing a system in this way is that the out of pocket costs can be partially recouped with the Federal Tax Credit of 30%. Diablo Solar offers Antioch residents a 6-18 month plan. There are options that offer a no interest and no payments, same as cash program (OAC) on the tax credit amount. This allows you to reduce out of pocket costs by the entire 30% allowable! The program is completely without cost and does not include interest or points.
  3. Apply for a solar loan. Because we are a SunPower Elite Dealer, Diablo Solar is able to offer solar loans for 5, 10, 15, or 20 years. The loans start at 2.99% to 6.99% (OAC). Rather than using the equity in your home, these loans are unsecured; they offer monthly payments that are fixed, low and will not increase.

The above list illustrates the various ways Diablo Solar can install a Photovoltaic (PV) solar-electric system for Antioch homeowners. When it comes to obtaining a solar-electric system, you may choose to purchase the system outright, apply for a loan or get a multi-year lease. No matter how you pay for the system, it is clear now is the perfect time to go solar in Antioch.
