    Financing

    Reviewed Sept. 7, 2015

    I purchased solar panels from Solar Gains and Dividend Solar is who they use for financing. I'm very happy with my decision to go solar and I love living electrically-free. However, the financing part is a little difficult. There's very little flexibility to pay down the loan more rapidly, it has to be a conscious effort. It's tempting to just pay off the loan and just be done with it, but there are other benefits to having the loan open so I would prefer to pay it down.

    Also, I understand that they have a link for one-time payments, but that link then continues to draw from the same account. If I wanted to contribute to my partner's account (as he was connected), I couldn't do so without backing that up with other information, putting in my information, doing one-time payment, then re-installing the first set of information. So, having an additional payment option with complete access to account numbers or input of account numbers would be very helpful.

    We decided to get solar panels from Dividend Solar last April because we live in the desert, so in the summertime we are the peak user for electricity. Enrollment was an easy process and the limited interactions that I've had with their customer service reps have been good experiences.

    My power company really pissed me off because they got to me for $100 and I can't argue with them because they're 260 miles away; all I get is a woman on the phone. So I went online and typed "solar" in my search window; I started looking through it and came across Dividend Solar. They had a deal that I filled out and sent in, then their contractor, Matt, contacted me. I told him what was going on, that I just had four months bills including one high month because it was right after the first of the year and I usually spread everything from the year before. He called me back and then according to Dividend Solar, I can get in it for zero down and $80 a month, which is what I pay on my electric. So I said "Look, this is stupid. I'll just go with the solar." So we went ahead and finished all the paperwork. I also got what I needed from the state. I filled it out and sent it back in, and they Okayed it.

    The whole process took about three weeks. The contractor showed up out here one day with four guys at 9:00 and they did a roof set on my shop, right in back of the house, and at 6:00 that evening, they were gone. They had put the solar system in and they had checked it out. They had cleaned up after themselves as well, and they did a nice and neat installation. Everybody I've talked to has asked me about that system and I've told them about Dividend Solar and how to get a hold of them and also to contact Matt because he would talk to them about it.

    Dividend was really good. I learned about them through my solar installing company. At first, they quoted me one interest rate and it turned out there was an anomaly on my credit report. They said "We'll go ahead and run the numbers, and work it out and if you can get this, we'll offer you the lower interest rate." The bank already lifted my credit so they tried it and it wasn't happening fast enough. Dividend said "We'll go ahead and give you another half percent off based on the fact that we know that you've taken care of this. It's just a matter of the credit report." They did that and I was able to get it off my credit report, so they gave me the full one percent off which I was happy about. They were really easy to work with, much easier than the solar company which I'm still waiting to get the job finished.

    The cost of electricity is inevitably going to go up and solar energy is a stable price. Once you buy the panels and know what your interest rate is, you know what you're going to pay. It's also the right thing to do to get away from fossil fuels. It has brought down our electric price per month. Enrolling with Divided Solar was seamless - a few emails, a little bit of conversation. Very straight forward and easy. And their interests rate is reasonable.

    I was approached by a Dividend Solar door-to-door salesman, and the timing was right because I wanted to have solar energy in my house. I did some investigation and I liked what they were doing. The price was right as well and it was altogether a good deal, so I went for it. When I first signed up, I needed to make a one-time odd payment and I couldn't get the payment to get through right away because their website had just been redesigned or was new. I called their customer service and they put me with the developer, and we walked through it. They were really good, easy to get a hold of and really helpful.

    I purchased solar energy services for my residential site due to the fact that there isn’t a payback on the residential installation. I’ve previously installed a smaller system four years ago, but Dividend Solar had fairly reasonable interest rates. Amortization starts after the 30% tax credit the government gives. Signing up was simple and customer service, aside from being courteous and knowledgeable, helped me change the bank account switch problem I had.

    They installed a meter for them to actually monitor the solar output. If you go on their website, you can see how much your actual production is on a daily, monthly, or a lifetime basis - pretty neat. I’m very happy with it since it’s been working well. I’ve got the bill, but I haven’t seen how the credits have been applied and on how the breakout was with the local electric company. Hopefully it will be what I’m anticipating it to be.

    I decided to look into solar energy services because of the ever-changing rise in cost and the energy supply in my area has gone up substantially. A number of people that I know have moved over to solar and started looking into it. It seems to be cost-efficient and has a lower fee, so it's a worthwhile investment. Enrolling with Dividend Solar was relatively easy. The application process was simple and straightforward. But I wasn't aware that the first 12 or 16 months of the repayment were under an interest-only until basically the bubble portion came through. I've just started paying additional on the principal of it and everything independently.

    I have a huge project here at this house. Solar was part of the upgrades and change that needed to be done at the house. A lot of things needed to be done on the exteriors too. So this was a judgement call for the benefits that are being kicked back on it by the government supplementing 30% of it. I have the money to pay the entire system off. This is more of a question for them -- Once this system is paid off, do they then remove their monitoring system?

    There was something in the paper where, even when I was talking with the guy from Dividend regarding the application, that part was not made clear. I'm sure it's all in the writing and was just something that I overlooked. I am now very satisfied with my decision to go solar. I would definitely recommend them to a friend. But I would definitely point out that part about the repayment--had that part been omitted.

It was nice to have everything like that in place before the solar got installed. I also liked the fact that the interest rate was lower than anything else we were looking at.

They did all the work and sent me all the information. I even I asked them to bring down my interest rate a little bit, and their rep actually did it, because I told him I had a tax credit so I should deserve a better interest rate. He got me down a few points and it made a big difference.

    Their Customer Service team are perfectly courteous. I was on the phone with them two days ago. I was trying to find out about the tax credit, and the guy said, "I'm not a tax person," but he explained it to me a little bit clearly because at first I didn't really understand it. They're very helpful. I've called them probably about six times since the solar has been installed, and they'd answered every one of my questions.

    From my experience with Dividend Solar, there are two things: One is that they actually work with you. The other one is that with all the other solar providers, when your interest rate goes up, if you don't pay your tax credit, it stays up. With Dividend Solar, if you pay your tax credit, your interest rate goes back down to the original percentage rate.

    I'm satisfied with my decision to go solar. So far, so good. It's saving me lots of money. I'm giving it to Dividend Solar instead of the electric company. Enrolling with Dividend Solar was a little messy at the beginning only because it was my fault, I had misunderstood. When I first talked to the guys about it, we talked prices and it was done by email. They didn't state Dividend, they didn't state Credit Union, they just gave me some options. The option that I took was the cheapest one over the longest period of time which was the most expensive way to go. But I'm looking at balancing. I'm right on the cusp of whether solar is a good deal or not for me but they didn't say what was. Suddenly I'm with the Credit Union and the cost are a lot higher. Interest rates were low but the monthly cost was going to be a lot more than what I was paying on an average for the electric bills.

    So I switched and said, "No, this isn't what I want, I want something else." But nobody said here's Dividend Solar and this is what they can do. Once it was set up, it's fine, it went smoothly. But that was the good, just the beginning. It wasn't made really clear to me. I told them what I wanted and I didn't get a real clear answer. At that same time, there was this big upset apparently with the company. The install was delayed. Everybody that I needed to talk was gone from the company. I was very frustrated with the whole process and I'm still with the Credit Union. I've called them and said, "I want another way, I want out." I'm getting, "Oh, yeah." "Sure." "Fine." But I'm still a member even if it's not costing me anything.

    My biggest mess with the whole process from installs to purchasing and payment was the lack of communication. They said that I could pay it off earlier if I wanted to. I get notified every month of amount that's coming out of my account for payment and there's a link that says I can add an additional payment to it. The link is not active. There's no way that I can add payment. This is all going to interest, it's not going to any principal. I want to start paying the principal down but I can't figure out how to do it online. Otherwise, it's great. It will come out in the wash most probably.

    I've worked with Dividend Solar for several months and am thoroughly happy and satisfied with their process. Dividend's solution allows homeowners to OWN their solar system, but pay for it monthly rather than upfront. The monthly payment for the solar system is LESS COSTLY than the utility power the solar system is replacing. Put differently, homeowners can switch to solar power with no money out of the family budget, and OWN the system which drives up the value of their home. Dividend factors in the government rebate for owned solar systems. That means your monthly payment starts small, and stays small!

    Their representatives are always available, and quite knowledgeable. The access to capital is very simple. Their contractor-partner network is highly skilled.

    My experience with Dividend Solar has been fantastic. It comes down to just two things - what you are getting and who you are working with. Dividend Solar is phenomenal on both accounts. The loan they provide is the best option I found for maximizing the value of a home solar system. The people? They patiently explain everything, call you back, and are professional in every manner. I couldn't recommend them enough. Go with Dividend Solar!

    Great financing option and great experience with Dividend Solar. I didn't have $30K to buy my system outright, so I reached out to Dividend to learn more about their financing. 20-year loan, low interest rates, and guarantees for the system's production. Had some questions on my monthly payment last weekend so called them up and spoke to ** -- on a Sunday. He was very helpful and said they are open 7 days a week. Also said they continually check on my panels and get alerts if there are any issues. Very happy I went solar and would definitely recommend these guys.

    I've been interacting with Dividend Solar over the past 6 months and have been very impressed with their professionalism and knowledge of the PV finance industry. They have developed a product that truly benefits the homeowner, installer and investor by minimizing inefficiencies in the residential PV system financing process, and providing value-add services rarely seen in this sector.

    We had been searching for solar options for quite a while but finances have always been a sticking point. A close family friend recommended that we check out Dividend Solar based on their own experience with the company and needless to say we were amazed with their whole process (very simple application) and their attractive low rates. The sales rep, along with the whole company, were so helpful in answering all of our questions and helped walk us through each step. We really appreciate the personal touch, and they made us feel like we were all partners in the project.

    So happy I went solar, and even happier I went with an EmpowerLoan from Dividend Solar. DS provided great customer service and I was surprised by how easy it was to apply for a loan. The EmpowerPortal is user friendly and making payments through it is easy. I'm saving a ton of money every month!!

    I'm honestly shocked that I'm writing a review but I was so surprised (pleasantly surprised) by my experience with Dividend Solar that I decided to change my tune. The team actually seemed like they wanted to work with me, help me and cared about what was best for me rather than just sell me a deal. I was really stressed about the process but Dividend Solar made it as easy as possible - they took the worry and stress off of me and were really great partners in this process. They addressed all of my questions quickly and professionally and continued to be present even after I had signed on with them. Financing through DS was extremely easy as well. I love that there is no penalty for paying my loan early - which I'm looking forward to being able to do with the savings from my solar system!

    I heard about Dividend Solar from a friend who financed her system with DS and had a great experience. She mentioned that it was important to own the system if I wanted to save the most money and Dividend Solar's loan allows you to do that. The application process was really simple. I called them, was pre-qualified in just a few minutes (over the phone), and they then connected me with one of their local installer partners. A few days later, the sales rep came and met with us and was prepared with a sales proposal that included the system design laid out on our roof. Ultimately, he showed me my potential savings after going solar.

    Our system was installed a few months ago, and my first utility bill (after going solar) was only about $15 -- I'm already saving about $60 a month after my loan payment. I love that, every day, I am able to check on my system's production on the Dividend Solar website. I also love that I have automated my payments so that I don't have to worry about them each month. My only issue with DS was that I wished they offered a variety of loan terms. The DS loan is for 20 years and we can pay it off sooner, but it would be nice to have had a 30 year option as well. All in all, I'm really happy with my experience with Dividend Solar and have already referred them to several of my friends.

    Friendly customer service. Started saving money from day 1. Their online interfaces can be a little confusing but once you get the ropes and figure out how to navigate their portal, it is pretty helpful. We can see our system production and pay down our loan online with a couple of clicks. The flexibility that Dividend Solar provides is the main reason we chose to go with them. There are no prepayment penalties - we paid down a portion of our loan ahead of schedule and our rate did not increase, which was great. They also offer performance guarantees.

    One thing that is important to know about their product is the incentive payment. Their loan is $0-down but requires you to pay down 30 percent of the loan (which is equal to the federal tax credit) by month 16. If you don't, then your rate increases. This is kind of unusual, but it makes sense: the prepayment is essentially money that you are putting towards your solar system - money that otherwise would have been going to your federal taxes. Overall, we've had a good experience and we're happy we financed our system with them. Some of the online stuff is a little hard to navigate but we are saving money already on our utility bill and will eventually own the system outright. We don't have to lock into a long term contract with little flexibility (a la solar leases). Pros: flexibility, instant savings, friendly customer service. Cons: online interface is somewhat disjointed. Recommend!

    I financed my solar system through Dividend Solar and it's been a great experience. I would recommend them to anyone interested in this kind of service. Everyone I have spoken with is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I get a real person right away on the phone when I call and often it's the same person. That's really rare these days and refreshing. Their financing plans are simple to understand and they are willing to work with you, depending on your individual needs. A++.

    There were many criteria we considered before going solar: Financial, could we afford it? This one turned out to be a no-brainer. The savings from our utility bill already outweigh our monthly loan payments, without even taking into consideration the periodic SREC checks we receive. We've been cash flow positive since day 1. Aesthetic, would the panels blend in with the design of our house? As it turns out, the panels look really cool on our roof. Emotional, there's definitely a sense of pride and accomplishment when the sun shines and we see the power we're generating and sending back to the grid. Complexity of the process, we know nothing about selecting an installer, deciding on the types of panels, financing the system, how to get the 30% investment tax credit, etc.

    And this is exactly why Dividend Solar was the perfect choice. They took care of everything. It was perfectly seamless. From engaging the installer, to preparing all the paperwork, providing us with the financing, ensuring the system was inspected timely, and everything in between. It couldn't have been easier and we could not have made a better choice.
