Solar Topps Exclusive
Easy Ownership Program

In 2025, the Big Beautiful Bill (“BBB”) eliminated the Federal Residential Solar Tax Credit, which previously provided homeowners with a 30% tax credit that significantly improved the economics of purchasing an energy system. While this incentive is no longer available to homeowners, there are still effective ways to achieve the same financial benefits whether you are considering a solar energy system, a solar + battery system, or a battery-only installation.

At Solar Topps, we have incorporated these solutions into our Exclusive Easy Ownership Program, which is a lease-to-own model, designed to help homeowners benefit from clean, reliable energy at a significantly reduced price compared to purchasing a system. The program provides a simple and predictable structure that removes much of the complexity and financial uncertainty traditionally associated with purchasing your energy system or worrying about system performance and maintenance.

Unlike other providers that use third-party companies to provide similar offerings, this program is offered through Solar Topps Financial (STF), an in-house financing arm of Solar Topps, that has been operating various lease-to-own programs since 2013. With STFs strong operational history, you are in good hands and will be taken care of every step of the way.

Benefits of Our Exclusive
Easy Ownership Programs

  • img

    Easy Access to Solar Benefits at a Reduced Overall Cost

    With the expiration of the Federal Residential Solar Tax Credit, purchasing a system outright no longer provides the same financial advantage it once did. However, entering into our Easy Ownership Program, based on a lease-to-own model, you can access the benefits of solar energy while still benefiting from a significantly reduced price compared to to purchasing a system. Current incentives in place allow The Easy Ownership Team to take advantage of available tax credits and incorporate those savings into your system cost, which makes getting solar or battery storage more accessible and affordable.

  • img

    Fighting Against Utility Inflation

    Utility rates in Arizona have historically increased, and with rising grid demand and infrastructure costs, this trend is likely to continue. By entering into our Easy Ownership program, you lock in your energy costs for the lifetime of the system. This protects you from the volatility of the grid and provides predictable energy expenses for the foreseeable future.

  • img

    Avoid Annual Price Escalators

    Many monthly programs include an annual escalator clause, typically ranging from 1% to 2.9%. This means your monthly payment increases every year. While these increases are often lower than utility rate inflation, they introduce variability into your energy costs. With our Monthly Easy Ownership Program, your monthly payment never changes.

  • img

    System Maintenance and Monitoring Included

    One of the primary advantages of our Easy Ownership Program is the transfer of operational risk. The Easy Ownership Team provides you all the tools needed to monitor your system, and if an issue arises, they are immediately on site to get it fixed. Our goal is peak performance, so if anything seems to be wrong, we are there by your side to get it fixed immediately.

What happens if I sell my home with a leased solar system?

If you sell your home, the new buyer will typically assume the lease agreement. This requires a credit check and approval from the leasing company. Alternatively, you may have the option to buy out the lease early, though this involves a lump-sum payment.

Is the Easy Ownership Program a Lease?

The Easy Ownership Programs are more akin to a Lease-to-Own model. As an equipment lease, Solar Topps Financial (STF) is responsible for the system maintenance and performance during the program term. However, at any point during the term or at its conclusion, you have the option buy out the system at a significantly reduced price than if you were to purchase the system outright.

Is there a buyout option?

Most solar lease agreements do not have an early buyout option, and if they do, the buyout amount is typically calculated based on the remaining lease payments and the fair market value of the system. Solar Topps’ Easy Ownership Monthly programs allow you to buyout at any point during the term without penalty. Please review your Agreement for specific terms and details.

What if the solar system underperforms?

Solar Topps’ Easy Ownership Program comes with a production guarantee. This means that if the system is not performing as intended, Solar Topps Financial is responsible for remedying the issue and if necessary, compensating you for the lost energy. As always, refer to your Agreement for all details.

Are maintenance and repairs covered under the lease?

Yes, most solar lease agreements and Solar Topps Easy Ownership Programs include comprehensive maintenance and repair coverage. The lessor is responsible for ensuring the system operates at peak performance for the duration of the lease term.

How does a prepaid lease compare to a monthly lease?

A prepaid lease eliminates monthly payments and often reduces the total cost compared to a monthly lease. However, it requires a larger upfront payment. A monthly lease offers lower initial costs but includes ongoing payment obligations. Most companies will charge an annual escalation fee which will increase your monthly payments each year. Solar Topps Easy Ownership Monthly Programs do not contain any escalators, so you always pay the same amount each year.
