Efficient Partner Pricing (EPP) rewards homeowners who help us operate efficiently. It's the same idea insurance companies use with non-smoker discounts — people who cost less to serve get better rates.
Here's how it works for you:
To lock in your EPP rate today, we just need three things:
It's a win-win. You get a better price today, and we get to help more families switch to solar. That's why the EPP rate you see above is lower than our standard pricing.
This agreement is between you (the homeowner) and IGS Solar, LLC (the company that owns and maintains the solar system).
IGS Solar leases the equipment to you. You pay a monthly amount to use the system and keep the power it generates. IGS handles installation, insurance, repairs, and monitoring for the full 25 years.
All obligations start on the "Transaction Date" listed on your agreement — that's the day you sign.
This is a 25-year lease — 300 months total. Think of it like leasing a car, but for solar panels.
The clock starts on the first day of the month right after your system gets turned on and connected to the grid. We call that the "Interconnection Date." Every year after that is a "Contract Year."
What this means for you: You're locking in your solar rate for 25 years. No renegotiating, no surprises. After 25 years, you choose what happens next — renew, buy the system, or let us remove it for free.
You pay one fixed monthly amount for using the solar system. That's it. No equipment costs, no installation fees, no maintenance bills.
When you sign up, you'll set up automatic payment by credit card, debit card, or bank transfer (ACH). If you set up auto-pay through your bank (ACH), we usually waive the small monthly billing fee — so it's basically free to pay.
You'll get an email invoice every month. If a payment bounces, there's a standard returned-check fee (same as any other bill). If you're late, the fee is 1.5% per month on the past-due amount.
Sales tax may apply to your monthly payment, just like it does on your utility bill. That's normal.
Bottom line: Set it and forget it. One predictable payment. No utility bill roller coaster.
What IGS handles (so you don't have to):
What we ask from you:
Roof work: If you're getting a new roof or doing construction that affects the panels, give us 30 days' notice. We'll coordinate removal and reinstallation. You keep paying your lease during any brief downtime.
Access: We need to get on your roof occasionally for maintenance or monitoring. We'll always try to give you reasonable notice. Access continues for 90 days after the lease ends, just in case we need to remove the system.
Bottom line: IGS handles the technical stuff. You handle basic homeowner stuff. Fair trade.
Before installation day, we do our homework:
You just need to return any paperwork we send you and get HOA approval if it applies.
If for some reason your roof can't support solar or the city won't approve it, we can cancel the agreement — but that's rare and protects both of us.
The only way this agreement changes is if both of us sign a written amendment. No handshake deals, no verbal promises. We can fix utility paperwork to match the lease terms, but nothing changes your rate or your obligations without your signature.
Your protection comes from two documents:
Those two documents cover everything that matters. IGS doesn't make promises beyond what's in those exhibits — but honestly, they cover all the important stuff.
Your lease may be transferred to a qualified financing partner — just like your mortgage gets sold to another bank. This is standard for solar leases.
Your rate, your terms, your warranty — nothing changes for you. The new company takes over the backend, and the old company is off the hook. Same as when your mortgage gets sold.
IGS owns the panels, inverters, and equipment. It's considered personal property — like a leased car, not a built-in appliance. It doesn't become part of your house.
You can't let anyone put a lien on the equipment. If a contractor you hire separately tries to file a lien on the panels, you have 30 days to clear it.
Bottom line: You get all the benefits of solar without the headaches of ownership.
You do. Every kilowatt-hour that hits your roof is yours. That's what you're paying for — the power, not the hardware.
Since IGS owns the equipment, we claim the federal tax credits, state rebates, and renewable energy credits (SRECs). That's how we can offer you such a low monthly rate. We take the tax benefits on the front end, you take the savings on the back end. Win-win.
You'll need to sign some utility paperwork so we can process the incentives, but that's standard and takes two minutes.
Bottom line: The tax credits are baked into your low monthly payment. You're already getting the benefit — just in the form of savings instead of a tax form.
Starting at year 5, you can buy the system outright if you want. The price is based on whichever is more fair:
If you buy it, you get any remaining manufacturer warranties and a bill of sale. From that day on, you're responsible for maintenance and repairs — just like you own it.
Bottom line: You have an exit ramp. Most people don't buy because the lease savings are already great, but the option is there if your situation changes.
You have three easy options. Most buyers love taking over a solar lease because it means lower electric bills from day one.
Option 1: Transfer the lease. Give us 30 days' notice, we run a quick credit check on the buyer. If they qualify, they take over the payments. This is the most common route — buyers see solar as a selling point.
Option 2: Prepay the lease. Pay off the remaining payments in a lump sum. The new owner pays nothing but still gets the solar power. Great for cash buyers.
Option 3: Buy the system (only if you're past year 5) and include it in the home sale. Now the buyer owns the panels free and clear.
Bottom line: Solar doesn't trap you in your house. It's a selling point. And if none of these work, talk to us — we want to help, not punish.
About 3 months before your lease ends, we mail you renewal forms. You have three choices:
If you don't renew or buy, we can remove the system for free at a time that works for you. Or we may transfer ownership to you as-is at no charge, and the system becomes yours to keep.
Bottom line: No cliff at year 25. You have options, and if you want out, we clean up after ourselves.
If you don't renew or buy after 25 years, we can remove the system for free and schedule it at your convenience. We'll take the panels off, seal the roof penetrations, and leave your roof as close to original as possible.
Or we may transfer ownership to you as-is at no charge, and the system becomes yours to keep.
Unless you intentionally damage the panels or are grossly negligent, IGS covers everything — hail, wind, fire, theft, you name it.
Your lease payment stays the same during repairs, but remember — you're still getting power from the grid, so your lights stay on while we fix the system. The repair is on us, not you.
Bottom line: Sleep easy. A tree falls on your roof? Not your wallet. Lightning strikes an inverter? We replace it.
If something goes wrong, IGS is only on the hook for direct damages — not lost profits, emotional distress, or other indirect stuff. Your liability to IGS is capped at what you'd owe under the default section.
Standard lease language. Every contract has it.
You're in default if:
Bottom line: Pay your bill, don't mess with the equipment, and be honest. Do that, and you'll never think about this section. 99% of customers don't.
This is the worst-case scenario section. If you default, we can try to fix the situation, take the system back, ask for the remaining value, or report it to credit bureaus.
This almost never happens because most people just pay their bill and enjoy the savings. If you're struggling, call us before you miss a payment — we'd rather work with you than against you.
We run your credit when you apply. We report your payment history to credit bureaus.
Pay on time, build credit. Miss payments, it can hurt — just like any other bill. Standard stuff.
We might take pictures of the panels on your roof for our website or marketing materials. Your name, address, and personal details stay private.
Your house might be a solar model home. No big deal.
If we don't enforce a rule one time, that doesn't mean we can't enforce it later. Standard contract language.
This agreement follows the laws of your state. If there's a dispute, it gets handled in your local courts. No jury trials, no class actions — just straightforward resolution.
Standard legal boilerplate. Every contract has it.
Important stuff has to be in writing — email, mail, or hand delivery. No "he said, she said."
This document is the whole deal. No side agreements unless both of us sign them. If a court says one part doesn't work, the rest still stands.
You have 7 business days to change your mind. Zero cost. Zero hassle.
Sleep on it. Talk to your spouse. Google us. If you're not 100% in, cancel within a week and it's like it never happened. We'll refund any payments within 10 business days.
To cancel, just send a written notice to:

By signing, you're saying:
Don't sign if there are blank spaces. Everything should be filled in before you put pen to paper.
Bottom line: You're making an informed decision. No pressure, no rush. You have 7 days to back out. Let me make sure every blank is filled and every question is answered before you sign.
System Warranty: Professional install, free from defects in workmanship and materials for 25 years under normal use.
Roof Warranty: All roof penetrations are watertight for 5 years. If we put a hole in your roof, we seal it right.
Operation: The system will operate within manufacturer specs. If not, we repair or replace defective parts and restore operation.
Monitoring: Free monitoring for the full 25 years (unless you buy the system). We watch your production remotely. If something's off, we know before you do and we fix it.
Claims: Email SolarSupport@igs.com, call 888.974.0114, or mail overnight to 6100 Emerald Parkway, Dublin, OH 43016 — ATTN: IGS Residential Solar.
What's NOT covered: Damage you cause, unauthorized repairs, new tree growth shading the panels, or failures not caused by a system defect. Acts of God (hurricanes, earthquakes) — but remember, IGS still insures the system against those.
Bottom line: You're covered for 25 years. If the system breaks, underperforms, or leaks — we handle it. That's the whole point of leasing instead of buying.
