It’s been around for a long time, but residential solar power is still relatively radical… even though we’re working hard to make it (and other forms of renewable power generation) mainstream. Our friends at Calfinder have a guest post up detailing the various “radical” financing and access options available to a homeowner interested in solar, including solar leasing, property assessed clean energy, and community solar arrays.

Solar power is gaining ground largely because of innovative financing models for this otherwise very expensive investment… and doing so nationwide. What’s going on in your community or state in terms of new options that help homeowners, and even renters, get access to solar power?
