The Prepaid Solar Lease: Up to 30% Off, 25-Year Term, 25-Year Warranty
One upfront payment. No monthly payments to SunPol for 25 years.
How SunPol's Prepaid Solar Lease works for Connecticut and Massachusetts homeowners — pay up to 30% below the cash price, in cash or financed with a HELOC, on a system SunPol owns, maintains, and backs with 25-year equipment warranties.
SunPol's Prepaid Solar Lease is a one-payment solar plan for Connecticut and Massachusetts homeowners. You prepay the full 25-year lease — at up to 30% less than buying the system outright — and pay $0/month to SunPol after that. Pay in cash or finance the prepayment with a HELOC. SunPol owns, maintains, and monitors the system, backed by 25-year equipment warranties.
What Makes It Different
What makes the Prepaid Solar Lease different
Four things set the prepaid lease apart from a PPA, a solar loan, or paying cash outright.
Up to 30% off
The prepaid lease is priced up to 30% below the cash purchase price of the same system — the concession built into prepaying the full term.
Cash or HELOC
Pay the prepayment in cash, or finance it with a HELOC — no single lump-sum withdrawal from savings required.
25-year term
A full quarter-century of solar from a system SunPol owns and maintains, with no monthly payments to SunPol.
25-year warranties
25-year product and performance warranty on the tier 1 solar panels, plus a 25-year limited warranty on the micro inverters.
The Discount
How does the up-to-30% discount work?
The Prepaid Solar Lease costs up to 30% less than buying the same system outright. That discount is the lease concession built into prepaying the full 25-year term in a single payment — one upfront payment instead of 25 years of utility bills or escalating loan or PPA payments.
Because you settle the lease up front, there are no monthly payments to SunPol and no long-term financing interest baked into the lease. The exact figure depends on your home — system size, roof, and electricity usage — so treat “up to 30%” as a typical ceiling, not a promise, and ask for a written, itemized quote.
Best of all, the savings don't come from cheaper equipment. The Prepaid Solar Lease lets you put a premium system — tier 1 solar panels and micro inverters — on your roof at one of the best prices available. You get the lower cost and the better hardware: there's no need to cut corners on equipment just to save money.
Not the federal tax credit. The up-to-30% prepaid-lease discount is a lease concession from SunPol. It is not the 30% federal solar tax credit (Investment Tax Credit). On a prepaid lease SunPol owns the system and claims the ITC; the homeowner does not. See the FAQ below.
Illustrative only — the exact figure depends on your home (system size, roof, and usage). “Up to 30%” is a typical ceiling, not a promise. Ask for a written, itemized quote.
Paying For It
Can I finance the Prepaid Solar Lease?
Yes. You can pay the prepayment in full with cash, or finance it with a HELOC (home equity line of credit). A HELOC lets you capture the up-to-30% prepaid savings without pulling a single lump sum out of your savings.
One clarification worth keeping straight: the HELOC is a separate financing product with its own term and rate. It is not the same as the 25-year lease term — it is simply how some homeowners choose to fund the upfront prepayment.
The Term
What does the 25-year term include?
The Prepaid Solar Lease covers 25 years of solar energy from a system SunPol owns, maintains, and monitors. There are no monthly payments to SunPol across the term, and no long-term financing costs or interest baked into the lease itself.
The goal is cost control and predictable power: you lock in your solar system up front. SunPol handles maintenance and monitoring for the full lease term, so keeping the system running is the provider's responsibility, not yours.
The Warranties
What's covered by the 25-year warranties?
SunPol installs a premium system — tier 1 solar panels and micro inverters — and the warranty coverage is the part of the prepaid lease most local installers can't match — and because SunPol owns the system, the warranty work is SunPol's job, not yours.
- Tier 1 solar panels: 25-year product and performance warranty — the panels are warrantied to keep producing at a high share of their rated power across the full term.
- Micro inverters: 25-year limited warranty; with the right system controller the system can keep producing during a grid outage.
- Maintenance & monitoring: handled by SunPol for the full lease term, with homeowner system monitoring included.
Why It Adds Up
Why CT and MA homeowners look at prepaying
For Connecticut and Massachusetts homeowners, prepaying the lease locks in your solar cost up front instead of paying an electric bill that you don't control. A well-sized system covers the bulk of a home's daytime electricity use, and you owe SunPol nothing each month for the 25-year term.

How net metering helps
When your panels produce more than your home uses during the day, the surplus flows to the grid and your utility credits you. Those credits offset the electricity you pull at night, so a well-sized system works for you around the clock. Net-metering rules differ by state and utility — SunPol designs each system to your specific home and territory. (See Connecticut PURA's net-metering guidance in Sources below.)
Side by Side
Prepaid Lease vs PPA vs cash vs loan

- Maintenance is your responsibility
Best Fit
Who is the Prepaid Solar Lease best for?
The prepaid lease fits cash-comfortable or HELOC-eligible homeowners in Connecticut and Massachusetts who want maximum long-term savings with zero maintenance responsibility. If you'd rather own the system and claim the federal tax credit yourself, a cash purchase or solar loan may suit you better — SunPol offers those too and will tell you honestly which path fits your home.

Common Questions
Prepaid Solar Lease FAQ
How much can I save with the Prepaid Solar Lease?
The prepaid lease is priced at up to 30% less than buying the same system outright, because you prepay the full 25-year term in one payment. The exact figure depends on your home; ask for a written, itemized quote.
Can I finance the prepayment?
Yes — pay in cash or finance it with a HELOC. The HELOC is a separate product with its own term, distinct from the 25-year lease.
How long is the term?
25 years. SunPol owns, maintains, and monitors the system for the full term, with no monthly payments to SunPol.
What warranties come with the system?
25-year product and performance warranties on the tier 1 solar panels and a 25-year limited warranty on the micro inverters, plus SunPol maintenance and monitoring for the lease term.
Do I get the 30% federal tax credit?
With the Prepaid Solar Lease, SunPol owns the system and claims the federal Investment Tax Credit — the up-to-30% is a discount off SunPol's price (the lease concession), not the tax credit and not a payment or credit you receive. Homeowners who buy with cash or a loan claim the ITC themselves. Tax treatment varies — consult a tax professional.
Is it available in Massachusetts?
Yes — SunPol offers the Prepaid Solar Lease to qualifying homeowners in both Connecticut and Massachusetts.
