Our install partners
The crew on your roof

Licensed installers we vet and hold accountable, chosen for their reputation and the quality of their work.

Financing partners
Cover the cost of the install

With a lease or PPA, you don't buy the panels or pay for the install. You just buy the power your panels produce, at a fixed, discounted rate that's cheaper than your utility.

FAQ

Questions homeowners ask us.

Don't see yours? Call us at (413) 540-6281.

What does it cost to get started?

Nothing. Our lease and PPA options are $0 down, and the design and consultation are free.

Will my lights stay on during a power outage?

Only if your system includes a battery. For safety, grid-tied solar without a battery shuts off when the grid goes down. A battery keeps your essentials running until power comes back.

Should I get a battery?

A battery stores your solar power so you have backup during outages, and in some areas it lets you use your own power instead of buying it at peak rates. It adds to the cost, so it's most worth it if outages are common where you live or your utility charges more at peak times. We'll show you options with and without one.

How many panels do I need?

It depends on how much electricity you use, how much roof space you have, and how much sun it gets. We size your system from your past electric bills and a satellite design of your roof, so it covers as much of your usage as your roof allows.

What about taxes and incentives?

With a lease or PPA, you don't need to qualify for a tax credit yourself. All qualifying state and federal incentives go toward lowering the cost of the system, and those savings are passed along to you as more affordable power, so your electric bill is even lower.

What if I sell my home?

The system stays with the home, so you can't bring it with you. The new homeowner takes over your agreement with the same locked-in rate and savings. One 2025 SolarReviews analysis of home sales found homes with solar sold for 6.9% more on average.

Who actually installs my system?

A licensed installer from our partner network in your area. We pick the one with the best combination of price, financing, timeline, and work quality for your home, and we manage them from design through power-on.

Why is another company's name on my paperwork?

Your installation and financing agreements are with the partners doing that work, so their names appear on those documents. Clean Grid Solar is your advocate and point of contact for the whole project.

Do I own the panels?

Not with a lease or PPA. The financing partner owns the system and is responsible for monitoring and maintaining it during your agreement. You just pay for the power, with no upfront cost.

Can you switch installers if a better option comes along?

Yes, before your install. If an installer slows down or a better option opens up in your area, we can move your project so you still get the best deal.

Does my roof qualify?

It depends on shade, which way your roof faces, and its age and condition. We check all of this from satellite imagery when we design your system, then confirm it during the in-person site survey.
