The company claims that the leasing programme was created to avoid upfront costs associated with buying a system and offers homeowners a way to go solar and make a positive impact on the environment.

Solar energy system is an investment in one’s home or business – one that provides immediate and ongoing benefits in energy savings and cash income. The company estimates that an average system will save homeowners more than $10,000 over the 15-year lease period. The company’s solar lease provides the needed financing.

Jeffrey Chavkin, president and co-founder of Geoscape Solar, said: “The benefits of solar energy sell themselves. What customers need are clear and concise explanations of these benefits, financing to take advantage of them and help getting through the maze of government paperwork.”
