In March of last year, Harmon Solar introduced a solar leasing program for residential customers. We partnered with SunCap Financial to offer our customers a zero-down, no maintenance lease on a photovoltaic system.

The leasing program has been extremely popular and a testament to its success, we received an “Energy Star” award from SunCap for selling more than 1 MW of solar in our first nine months of leasing. With a thorough understanding of the market and deep industry experience, SunCap … → Read more
