FAQ

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about going solar.

A PPA is a solar financing agreement where a company installs solar panels on your home at no upfront cost. You pay a fixed monthly rate for the electricity your panels produce — typically 30-50% less than what you currently pay your utility. You get clean energy and savings from day one, with no maintenance costs for 25 years.

With a PPA, there is zero upfront cost. No down payment, no deposit, no hidden fees. Your monthly solar payment replaces your utility bill and is typically lower from month one. The exact amount depends on your system size, location, and chosen escalator rate — which is exactly what our calculator shows you.

The escalator rate is the percentage your solar payment increases each year. A 0% escalator means your payment stays the same for 25 years. A higher escalator (like 1.99% or 3.59%) means a lower starting payment that gradually increases. Even at 3.59%, your solar costs rise far slower than utility rates, which have historically increased 5-7% per year in California.

Solar adds value to your home. When you sell, the PPA agreement simply transfers to the new homeowner — they inherit the savings. Studies show homes with solar sell faster and for more money. It's a selling point, not a liability.

Every system we install includes at least one Tesla Powerwall battery. This gives you backup power during outages and allows you to store excess solar energy for use at night. You can choose 1 Powerwall (covers essentials) or 2 Powerwalls (whole home backup). The battery cost is included in your monthly payment — no extra fees.

PPA agreements have more flexible credit requirements than traditional loans. A credit check is part of the process, but you don't need perfect credit. Most homeowners qualify. The best way to find out is to get your quote — there's no impact to your credit score to see your pricing.

Very accurate. Our pricing engine uses the same rate tables that financing companies use to generate actual contracts. The monthly payment you see on our site will closely match your final agreement. Small adjustments may occur after a site survey confirms your roof conditions, but most customers see the exact same number.

"We had a great experience working with Better Earth Solar, specifically with Jacob Safier, on the installation of our above-ground solar panels and backup batteries. From the beginning, Jacob was helpful, knowledgeable, and genuinely focused on understanding our needs rather than pushing a sale. He answered all our questions with patience and clarity and kept in touch throughout the process. While there were some delays due to our county's permitting process (which is out of their control), the rest of the installation went smoothly. We live on a 4.5-acre property in a rural area, relying on well water and dealing with extreme summer heat. Before solar, our PG&E bills ranged from $400 to over $900 a month during peak summer. Since the solar system was installed in December, our transition has been smooth, and our PG&E bills have dropped to around $40 per month over the last two months. If you're considering solar, I highly recommend reaching out to Jacob Safier at Better Earth Solar. He'll guide you through the entire process, including any available tax credits. We're extremely happy with our decision and the results so far!"

"Update (March 22, 2024): I've already seen drastic improvements to my energy usage and my overall expenses since switching to solar. My highest electric bill went from being $300 to a measly $28. I never thought I'd see this type of change, but it's a welcome one for sure! The Better Earth team was AMAZING! What was originally estimated to be a 2-day job was completed in one! And throughout the entire process, Jacob Safier and Tye Hoffmann were great to work with. As a new homeowner, these guys really put my mind at ease, and really made sure I was well-taken care of. If you are looking to install solar into your home, I would absolutely recommend this company! Everyone I had the pleasure of working with were all class acts and were very knowledgeable in their field. Thank you again to Tye Hoffmann, Jacob Safier, and the rest of the Better Earth staff who were involved with helping me go solar!"

"I had responded to a Facebook ad to inquire about solar energy and within hours had every solar company in a 50 mile radius call me to set up an appointment for a sales presentation. Don't do that. Anyways one of the companies was Better Earth; they sent Jacob to give the presentation. He was professional, clear and concise about how Better Earth does solar panel systems. The type of panels used, production capacity and thermal imaging to ensure the arrangement would completely cover our current electric usage. The financing options were fully explained and have been exactly as promised. I have only paid Duke the connection fee and Better Earth the loan payment. The installation went very smoothly with a one day install that was professional without any problems. The system is operating exactly as detailed in the presentation. Jacob has been completely transparent throughout the process and accessible for calls or text to address any issue with a solution or answer any question with an honest answer. I would recommend Better Earth for your solar project."

"I am very pleased with my solar installation from Better Earth. Jacob Safier was my main contact throughout the entire project and provided me with a white glove experience. I had initially signed up with another company but after analyzing my electric bills, I realized I was severely undersized. I reached out to Jacob and he provided me with a much larger size for almost the same price. After a few weeks of research on the company, I decided to move forward. Between permitting and HOA approval, the process was a little lengthy, but Jacob took care of all the heavy lifting and kept me informed every step of the way. Once we got all of the necessary approvals, the project was immediately scheduled for installation and was completed in only two days. After the installation, Better Earth promptly got the county inspection complete and permission to operate the system from the utility company. My system has been active for almost 6 months now and my electric bill has been $30 every single month since then. The system is out-performing the original estimate! I am very happy with the end result of everything. I encourage anyone doing research to go with Jacob and Better Earth — you won't regret it!"

"Better Earth knocked on my door in the early summer of 2023. We set up a consultation and made the decision to move forward after a few months of research. Our electric bills in the summer were peaking at just under $300 and the solar payment with all my electricity being covered is only $169. We worked with Jacob Safier as our rep and he delivered on everything that was promised. He was very knowledgeable about everything and we were confident that he could answer all our questions. There were a few unexpected bumps in the timeline and as a result we were double billed with solar and our electric company but Jacob made sure we were immediately reimbursed for the solar payment which we really appreciated. Our solar system has been active since January. Our electric bill came in today and it was only $30. Be aware the process can take a few months but the Better Earth team will have your back every step of the way. Very happy with our choice to go solar with Jacob and Better Earth. Would highly recommend to anyone considering."

"Better Earth designed, installed and commissioned a solar system for my all electric pool home in the Tampa Bay, Florida area in September 2024, just before Hurricane Milton blew through my 'hood (at 102 mph). The roof and array were unscathed. The pre solar system electric bill averaged $221 monthly. Now it's $12.80 (the monthly service fee with tax). I have a net 1200 kwh surplus through May 2025. Looks as I'll be at or close to net zero as to my TECO kwh consumption vs kwh produced by the array. I like these numbers. I locked in for 25 years at $230 a month. I already needed a roof replacement (approximately $19,000) as the existing roof was at year 17. Roof replacement was included in the lease. Now, rate increases and inflation are of no concern as to my electric bill. I generate what I consume. Sweet deal. No Brainer. Great solar system. Beautiful new roof. 1 price. Old electric bill was $221 monthly I'm locked at $230 now. In today's dollars. A $9 monthly increase but gained a new 19K roof. Btw — Jacob was my man at Better Earth. Friendly, sharp, honest, knowledgeable, conscientious and professional. He was on top of the project from the jump to the start up. What's not to like?"

"Perfect Experience!! These guys managed to get my business because they were extremely knowledgeable, personable, and willing to answer my litany of technical and skeptical questions with real information. They know the solar industry inside and out and take pride in their top quality products and impeccable customer service. Jacob Safier is an outstanding agent to work with! Communication was fantastic and everything was done on time and as promised. I think the company must have put a lot of attention on their customer service because, at every stage, they functioned with remarkable excellence — like a well-oiled machine. All phone calls were promptly returned, all promises kept, and the purchasing and installation processes moved along clickity-click from start to finish. I give a lot of credit to Jacob who's clearly a highly skilled manager, communicator, and an all-around good guy. He kept everything on target and called frequently throughout the process with updates. Today (5 months with solar) my electricity bill runs around $21.00 (service fees only). It had been up to $300/$350 which is why I started getting stressed out about the unpredictability of TECO's pricing. Now I indulge in all my electronic needs stress-free because I know I have the solar power to handle it. I'm genuinely thrilled I went with Better Earth. They're a superb company and never dropped the ball once. I know all about the frustration of working with companies that just don't deliver. This experience was stress free and had zero glitches!! It's been a joy living with solar and I'm absolutely certain I picked the right company to do the job. Jacob is a gem to do business with. Highly, strongly, unequivocally, and enthusiastically recommend!!!"
