Zero Down Solar: For Solar Professionals Who Lose Deals to Bad Credit – and Homebuyers Who Think They Can’t Afford a Home

Two Problems. One Solution.

Solar professionals lose deals to low credit scores every day. Homebuyers get shut out of the market because they can’t save for a down payment. What if you could solve both at once?

☀️ For Solar Marketers, Consultants & Installers

Stop Losing Deals to Bad Credit

You’ve been there. The homeowner wants solar. The roof is perfect. The savings are real. But their FICO is 610 and every solar lender says no. Or they get approved at 15% interest with 30% dealer fees baked in, making the payment unaffordable. Deal dead.

There’s now a better path. Instead of trying to force a bad solar loan through, bundle the solar directly into the home mortgage – whether it’s a purchase or a refinance. The result:

580+

Minimum FICO
Not 640. Not 620. 580.

$0

Dealer Fees
No 15-40% hidden costs

30 yr

Mortgage Rate
Not 8-15% solar loan rates

How This Expands Your Market

Think about what this unlocks:

Homebuyers: Every buyer in the pipeline becomes a solar prospect. The solar gets financed INTO the mortgage at mortgage rates – not solar loan rates. Zero out of pocket for the buyer.

Low-FICO homeowners: That 590-credit-score lead your solar lender rejected? They can refinance their home and roll solar into the new mortgage. You just saved a deal you would have lost.

Real estate partnerships: Every agent in your area becomes a referral source. You solve their buyer’s affordability problem, they send you the solar business. It’s a flywheel.

The buyer owns the panels outright. No lease. No lien. No PPA headaches at resale. This means the solar adds real appraisable value to the home per Fannie Mae guidelines – and the buyer’s equity is protected.

Think You Can’t Afford a Home? Think Again.

If you’ve been told you need $20K+ for a down payment, or that your credit score isn’t high enough, or that you make “too much” for assistance programs – this changes everything.

✔️ Zero Down Payment

Down payment assistance covers up to 5% – available to first-time AND repeat buyers.

✔️ Zero Cash to Close

Most buyers bring nothing to the closing table.

✔️ Lower Monthly Bills

Solar panels are included in your mortgage. Your electric bill drops to near-zero. You actually pay LESS per month.

✔️ You OWN the Panels

No lease. No lien. The solar system is yours, adding real value to your home from day one.

Real Numbers: A 625 Credit Score Buyer

Traditional Loan With Solar + DPA
Down Payment $23,100 $0
Monthly Mortgage $2,226 $2,281
Monthly Electric $200 $100
Total Monthly Cost $2,426 $2,381

You save $45/month AND keep $23,100 in your pocket. Your home makes its own electricity. And because you own the panels, your home is worth more when you sell it.

Already a Homeowner? Refinance + Solar.

You don’t have to be buying a home to benefit. If you currently have a mortgage, you can refinance and roll solar into the new loan. This can lower your combined monthly obligation (mortgage + utilities) while adding value to your home. It’s especially powerful if you’re carrying high-interest debt alongside high utility bills.
