Why Home Pro Partners With Solar Tech

Home Pro partners with Solar Tech because of their track record, installation quality, and — most importantly in 2026 — their two prepaid PPA options. With the 30% residential tax credit no longer available for cash and loan solar purchases, the Prepaid Solar PPA has become the strongest way for California homeowners to go solar. Solar Tech is one of the few installers in the Bay Area offering this financing path, and they offer two distinct prepaid PPA options to match different homeowner situations.

Solar Tech installs a variety of solar and storage products, including QCells panels, giving homeowners access to the premium panel technology available  — with the added advantage of prepaid PPA financing.

What Solar Tech Does

Solar Tech handles every step of the solar installation process from start to finish. Once you sign your contract through Home Pro, Solar Tech takes over and coordinates directly with you.

System design Solar Tech designs a system sized specifically for your home's energy usage, roof layout, and goals. Every system is custom-designed — not a one-size-fits-all package.

Permitting Solar Tech manages the full permit process with your local city building department. You never have to contact the city or track down an inspector yourself.

Installation Solar Tech's installation team handles the full physical installation of your solar panels, battery storage, EV charger, and all associated electrical work.

PG&E interconnection Solar Tech coordinates the PG&E interconnection process so your system is properly connected to the grid and NEM 3.0 net metering is set up correctly from day one.

Monitoring Once your system is live, Solar Tech monitors its performance to make sure it is producing as expected. Any issues are identified and addressed without you having to track down a service team.

Two Prepaid Solar PPA Options

The Prepaid Solar PPA is the strongest way to go solar in California in 2026. Instead of purchasing the system outright — and losing access to the 30% federal tax credit that expired December 31, 2025 — a homeowner makes one upfront payment. A Third Party Owner holds the system, claims the 30% commercial ITC on the full installed system, and passes that value back through a lower prepaid price.

Solar Tech offers two prepaid PPA options, giving homeowners flexibility based on their system size, goals, and budget. Home Pro will walk you through both options and help you determine which is the right fit for your home.

What is included under the prepaid PPA Solar panels, battery storage, and an EV charger can all be included as part of the installed system — and all qualify under the 30% ITC. That means the tax credit value is built into your prepaid price for all three. Learn more about the Prepaid Solar PPA.

Ownership after year six Under IRS rules for the commercial ITC, the Third Party Owner holds the system for six years. After that, ownership transfers to you as the property owner. Solar Tech covers installation, warranties, monitoring, and maintenance throughout the full term — so the experience is similar to ownership from day one without the upfront financial risk.

Solar Tech and Battery Storage

Under California's NEM 3.0 rate structure, battery storage is essential for getting the most out of your solar system. Solar Tech installs battery backup systems that store excess solar energy during the day for use when electricity rates peak in the evening.

Battery storage installed as part of a Solar Tech Prepaid PPA qualifies under the 30% commercial ITC — the value is built directly into your prepaid price. Learn more about battery backup storage.

Add an EV Charger to Your Solar Tech Project

If you drive electric or plan to, adding a Level 2 EV charger as part of your Solar Tech installation is the most cost-effective approach. The electrical work is already underway, which eliminates a separate mobilization cost. When included in a Prepaid PPA, the EV charger also qualifies under the 30% commercial ITC — meaning the full tax credit value is built into your prepaid price for the charger as well. Learn more about EV charger installation.

Financing Through Enfin

Solar Tech customers have access to solar financing through Enfin, an independent solar finance company. Enfin offers loans for solar and battery projects with competitive rates, fast approvals, and straightforward terms for homeowners who prefer a monthly payment option over the prepaid PPA.

Solar Tech and Your Roof — Home Pro Handles Both
