You own the system outright — no lien, no strings
The Federal Credit Ended. This Didn’t.

What changed — and what didn’t

The 30% federal tax credit for residential solar ended December 31, 2025. That doesn’t mean the math stopped working. It means the path to ownership changed.

Old Way

Rent your power forever

Traditional solar leases keep you paying a bill indefinitely. You never own the equipment on your own roof.

Prepaid Lease

Own it by year 6

Pay upfront or finance through Travis Credit Union. Little to no ongoing PG&E cost. The system is yours outright at year 6, transferable if you sell your home.

The Process

How the prepaid lease works

Four steps from a phone call to owning your solar system outright.

1

Free qualification call

We review your PG&E usage and roof to see if you qualify for the program. No credit check required.

2

Choose your payment path

Pay the prepaid amount upfront, or finance through Travis Credit Union. Priced below a typical cash purchase.

3

We design & manage

North Valley Solar Power designs and manages your project. A licensed installation partner performs the physical install.

4

Own it at year 6

Little to no ongoing electric cost along the way. At year 6 the system is yours — no lien, fully transferable.

Common Questions

Prepaid lease FAQ

Do I need good credit to qualify?

No credit check is required to qualify for the prepaid lease program. Financing through Travis Credit Union has its own separate approval process if you choose that path.

Do I actually own the system?

Yes. At year 6 the system is yours outright, with no lien on your home and no ongoing obligation. It is also fully transferable if you sell your home before then.

Does North Valley Solar Power do the installation?

North Valley Solar Power designs and manages your project from start to finish. A licensed installation partner performs the physical installation.

Is the 30% federal tax credit still available?

No. The federal residential tax credit ended December 31, 2025. This program is not built around that credit — it's built around a prepaid ownership path with financing available through Travis Credit Union.

What does the qualification call involve?

A brief conversation about your PG&E usage and roof to determine if the prepaid lease program is a fit for your home. There's no obligation to move forward.
