Leaf Solar Power Partners with LightStream to Bring Financing to U.S. Residential Customers

Unsecured Financing with Highly Competitive Interest Rates Now Available to Qualified Leaf Solar Power Customers

PALM BEACH, Fla.---Today, Leaf Solar Power LLC and LightStream announce a strategic relationship to provide homeowners up to $100,000 in financing for residential solar power projects.


The partnership supports the Leaf Solar Power Loan Program in the U.S., expanding the financing options available to people with good credit who are interested in owning high-efficiency Leaf Solar Power systems. Under the program borrowers may apply for an unsecured, fixed rate LightStream loan to install a Leaf Solar Power system.

"As a lending leader for residential solar power systems, LightStream supports consumers interested in Leaf Solar Power's high performance solar systems," said LightStream Todd Nelson, Business Development Officer. "We stand behind families and communities that choose to maximize their savings and minimize their carbon footprint. We back those efforts by offering streamlined financing that requires no appraisals and no fees. We have an entirely online process where people complete a simple form and may have their approval - and funds in their bank account - often as soon as the day they apply."

LightStream is available in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Rates for LightStream solar loans are currently as low as 4.99%APR with AutoPay.*

LightStream financing enables Leaf Solar Power to expand its residential loan program to allow more U.S. homeowners to own the most efficient and reliable solar technology available. According to LSP, in some cases loan payments may be equal or less than a homeowner's current utility bill. Once the loan is paid off, the homeowner will own a system that can produce clean electricity for the life of the system. They may also benefit from increased home value as a result of the solar system on the roof.

In addition to owning the most efficient solar technology, Leaf Solar Power system owners also benefit from a 25-year product warranty. Leaf Solar Power loans may also allow homeowners to take advantage of the 30% federal tax credit now available for installing solar power systems, as well as additional incentives offered by many states and municipalities.

In several states, Leaf Solar Power also offers the Leaf Lease Program, featuring low monthly payments with zero down.
