aleo solar GmbH, Prenzlau 09-05-2017 – According to GTM Research, Q4 2016 saw direct sales take more than 50% of the US residential market, to the detriment of third party financing, marking a fundamental shift. This dynamic has been supported by the development of a wide range of loans options accessible to homeowners to help them take ownership when going solar.
Sungage Financial has been a pioneer and a leading player in solar financing since 2011, after Sara Ross, the company’s founder, struggled to get financed when looking at options for getting solar panels installed on her own roof. Since then, Sungage has focused on developing consumer-friendly, low-cost financing options that make it easy for homeowners to go solar and reap all the financial benefits of solar energy. Sungage’s online tools give its installer partners the ability to create custom quotes and expedite the loan signing process, avoiding going back and forth to banks.
In Q1 2017, aleo solar, a German manufacturer of high efficiency premium modules, joined Sungage approved vendor list to offer US homeowners the possibility to equip their house with premium solar technology, Made in Germany. “We share the vision of Sungage because in Europe, for more than a decade, we have seen homeowners own their solar system and benefit, for themselves, of all the savings generated by solar energy. That’s the reason why we also defend easiness and peace of mind for homeowners. And as a manufacturer, it starts by building long lasting products that will reliably produce energy for decades.
