North Carolinians will soon have access to no-money-down solar panels: 'Bringing ... energy opportunities to homeowners'

“North Carolinians will soon have access to no-money-down solar panels” reports on a new partnership expanding affordable solar energy options for homeowners across the state.
The article by The Cool Down highlights a collaboration between Colorado-based Spruce Power and North Carolina’s EnerWealth Solutions to offer the state’s first “solar plus storage” lease. This program allows residents to install solar panels and battery systems with no upfront costs, no maintenance responsibilities, and the potential to sell excess energy back to the grid. By removing financial barriers, the initiative aims to make clean energy more accessible and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. It also arrives at a critical time, as federal solar tax incentives are set to expire soon. The program supports both environmental goals and energy equity for North Carolinians.
