If you’re an LADWP homeowner who has been thinking about going solar, there’s exciting news.
A financing option that was previously unavailable for many LADWP customers is now available, creating an opportunity to significantly reduce the cost of going solar.
What makes this financing option unique is that it allows the financing provider to utilize available federal solar tax incentives and apply that value directly to the cost of the project before financing begins. The result is often a lower financed amount and lower monthly payments for homeowners.
If you’ve received a solar quote in the past, now may be the perfect time to revisit your options.
Why This Is Such a Big Deal
One of the biggest concerns homeowners have when considering solar is affordability when it goes to solar with LADWP.
While solar can dramatically reduce long-term electricity costs, many homeowners want to know that the monthly payment makes financial sense.
This new financing structure helps accomplish exactly that.
By reducing the overall project cost before financing begins, homeowners can often enjoy a lower monthly payment while still receiving all the benefits of producing their own clean energy.
For many LADWP homeowners, this financing option simply wasn’t available before.
How Does This Financing Option Work?
This financing option is different from traditional solar financing.
Under current federal rules, homeowners are no longer able to claim a federal solar tax credit themselves. LADWP customers couldn’t benefit from it, until now.
However, this financing structure allows the financing provider to claim the available federal solar tax incentives associated with the installation.
Rather than keeping the value of those incentives, the financing provider applies that value to reduce the cost of the solar project upfront.
Because the project cost is reduced before financing begins, the homeowner finances a lower amount, which often translates into lower monthly payments.
In other words, while the homeowner does not receive a federal tax credit directly, they still benefit from the value of those available federal incentives because they are built into the pricing from the very beginning.
This unique financing structure makes solar more affordable without requiring the homeowner to navigate federal tax incentives themselves.
Why This Matters for LADWP Customers
LADWP is one of the nation’s largest municipal utilities and operates under its own policies and programs.
Because of this, financing options available elsewhere in California haven’t always been available to LADWP customers.
With this financing option now available, qualifying homeowners served by LADWP can finally access a financing structure designed to lower the cost of going solar.
That means more homeowners may now qualify for solar while enjoying lower monthly payments than were previously possible.
The Benefits Go Beyond Lower Payments
Lower monthly payments are only one advantage.
Installing solar can also help homeowners:
- Reduce their dependence on rising utility rates
- Create more predictable monthly energy costs
- Increase the value of their home
- Produce clean, renewable electricity
- Gain greater control over future energy expenses
Every month you continue paying your utility company is another month you’re paying for electricity you’ll never own.
Solar allows you to invest in your home instead.
Why Waiting Could Cost You More
Many homeowners wait months—or even years—to make a decision about solar.
Unfortunately, every month you wait is another month of paying your full utility bill. LADWP loves this.
Utility rates continue to change, and equipment and installation costs can increase over time.
Now that this financing option is available for qualifying LADWP homeowners, waiting could mean missing out on one of the most affordable opportunities to make the switch to solar.
Is This Financing Option Right for You?
Every homeowner has different goals.
The right financing solution depends on factors such as:
- Your monthly electric bill
- Your household’s energy usage
- Your long-term financial goals
- The size and layout of your roof
- Your expected time in the home
That’s why it’s important to compare all available options before making a decision.
An experienced solar consultant can help determine which financing solution provides the greatest long-term value for your specific situation.

Frequently Asked Questions
If I Don’t Receive the Federal Tax Credit, How Do I Benefit?
With this financing option, the financing provider claims the available federal solar tax incentives associated with the project.
Instead of keeping the value of those incentives, they apply that value upfront to reduce the cost of the solar installation.
Because the project starts at a lower cost, the homeowner finances less, which often results in a lower monthly payment.
Rather than receiving a tax credit later, homeowners benefit immediately through more affordable project pricing.
Why Is This Financing Option Important?
For many homeowners, the monthly payment determines whether going solar is financially possible.
By allowing the value of available federal incentives to reduce the project’s cost upfront, this financing option can make solar accessible to more families while still providing long-term savings on electricity.
