Traditional lease vs. PPA
A traditional lease fixes your monthly price for the equipment, while a power purchase agreement bills you per kilowatt-hour produced. Underwriting can be similar, but usage assumptions differ. Tell us your typical monthly kWh, and we’ll help you think through the fit.
Term length and escalators
Longer terms can lower payments but include annual price escalators. Underwriters check whether projected savings still beat your utility rates. Share your utility plan and we’ll send a simple worksheet to compare escalators versus expected inflation.
Homeowner associations and permitting
HOAs and local permits rarely stop leases but can affect timelines. Having approval letters ready reassures underwriters. If your HOA requires specific panel placement, comment with details and we’ll suggest language for a friendly, faster approval request.
Workarounds for Common Qualification Roadblocks
Dispute inaccuracies, pay down revolving balances, and avoid new hard inquiries before applying. Many readers improved scores in weeks by focusing on utilization. Share your plan in the comments, and we’ll send a gentle, week-by-week improvement roadmap.
