The Problem With Solar Today

Most Solar Deals Force You to Choose Between Affordability and Ownership

The traditional solar market has left homeowners stuck with a false choice. Propel Financing by Concert Finance was purpose-built to eliminate both traps at the same time.

The Dealer-Fee Loan Trap

You technically own the panels, but the financed price is inflated by hidden dealer fees — meaning you're paying for thousands of dollars in markup before the panels even turn on.

The Escalator PPA Trap

PPAs can look attractive on day one, but many include annual payment escalators of 1–3% per year. By year 10 or 15, your “low” payment has quietly crept up — and you still don't own anything.

Propel Financing by Concert Finance eliminates both traps — simultaneously.

How Propel Financing Works

A Smarter Structure, Built for the Homeowner

Propel Financing by Concert Finance front-loads the value into your deal — before a single dollar of interest accrues.

1

Propel Discount Applied at Signing

Concert Finance applies a substantial Propel discount — 30% to 40% of system cost — directly to your project price before financing.

2

Finance the Reduced Amount

Because Propel has already lowered your balance, your monthly payment is genuinely competitive — not a teaser rate that balloons later.

3

Fixed Payment — 25 Years

Your Propel payment never escalates. As utility rates continue to climb at ~6%/year, the gap between what your neighbors pay and what you pay grows wider every single month.

4

Ownership Transfers at Year 5

Propel Financing is structured so that ownership transfers to you after year 5 — adding $28K–$66K+ to your home's value.

What Makes Propel Financing Unique
No Dealer Fees

Zero Markup Baked In

The Propel discount comes first, so you're financing a fair price — never an inflated one.

Fixed Rate, No Escalator

0% Annual Payment Increase

Your Propel payment is locked for the full 25-year term. The longer you stay, the more you save relative to the grid.

No Prepayment Penalty

Pay It Off Any Time

No prepayment penalty. Accelerate ownership in year 3 or year 12 — entirely your choice, no fees.

Tax Credit Advantage

30–40% Federal Credit Eligible

Homeowners may be eligible for the 30% Federal Clean Energy Tax Credit — plus an additional 10% in designated Energy Communities.

Side-by-Side Comparison

Propel Financing vs. Traditional Options

A low year-one payment is not the same as the best long-term value.

Common Questions

What Homeowners Ask About Propel Financing

What exactly is Propel Financing by Concert Finance?
Propel Financing is a solar loan product offered by Concert Finance and available exclusively through select authorized installers like Solar-Advisors.org. It combines an upfront Propel discount — typically 30–40% of system cost — applied before the loan is issued, with a fixed monthly payment for 25 years and no prepayment penalty. Ownership of the system transfers to you at year 5.
How is the Propel discount different from a regular solar loan?
Standard solar loans typically bury dealer markup inside the financed amount — so you're paying interest on an inflated price. With Propel Financing, Concert Finance applies a substantial discount before any dollar is financed, meaning you're borrowing less and your monthly payment reflects an honest, reduced system cost from day one.
Will my Propel payment ever go up?
Never. Your Propel payment is fixed for the full 25-year loan term. California utility rates have averaged ~6% annual increases over the past decade. Every year that passes, the gap between your locked-in Propel rate and what your neighbors pay grows larger in your favor.
When do I actually own the system with Propel?
Ownership transfers to you at year 5. After that point the system is fully yours — adding to your home's appraised value and producing power at no incremental cost for the remaining life of the panels.
Can I pay off my Propel loan early?
Yes. Propel Financing through Concert Finance carries no prepayment penalty. You can accelerate ownership at any point without any additional fees.
What if I sell my home before year 5?
Unlike PPA lease agreements — which require complex lease-transfer negotiations during a sale — Propel Financing is a straightforward loan tied to you, not the home. This makes the transaction significantly simpler.

Your Utility Bill Goes Up Every Year.
Your Propel Payment Won't.
