Prepaid Solar: no loan, no lease. A locked price with no energy escalator, and the system is yours by year 6 — at no additional cost.
We looked up how Rancho Cucamonga itself permits solar and battery storage — not a five-county guess — before you ever talk to us. Scroll down for what we found.

We checked City of Rancho Cucamonga's own website rather than assume the county norm. Here is exactly what we found, plain English, nothing rounded up.
The city's page for its instant-permit tool never mentions battery storage, one way or the other.
Part of Rancho Cucamonga is served by the municipal utility RCMU rather than the regional utility, so interconnection details can vary by address.

Not a loan. Not a lease. You prepay once at a locked price with no energy escalator, and the system transfers to you in year 6 at no additional cost. Here is exactly how that works, before you talk to anyone.
Prepaid Solar exists so you don’t have to finance a system. You prepay once instead of carrying a solar loan — no monthly loan payment, no interest, and no lien taken out against your home to pay for panels. Your price is locked for the term with no energy escalator, so it can’t drift upward the way an escalating agreement does.
A lease means you rent equipment indefinitely and hand it back at the end. This is a prepaid energy agreement: you prepay for the energy the system produces, our financing partner holds the system during the term and carries the monitoring, insurance and production guarantee — and then the system comes to you. You are not renting your roof out, and there is no sales tax on the energy under this structure.
At year 6, ownership of the system and all associated warranties transfers to you at no additional cost. A few months beforehand you receive a transfer notice; you sign and return it, and your project manager walks you through it. From that point the system is yours — and so is responsibility for maintaining it.
Prepaying can cost you less than buying the same system outright. Our financing partner captures a share of the tax-credit value on the equipment and passes it through to you. Paying cash yourself means paying the full price with none of that value passed through — and it leaves you owning the maintenance, monitoring and insurance from day one instead of year 6. Ask us to run both numbers side by side before you decide.
How much depends on your equipment and location. There are three tiers: 17% standard, 25% when a single qualifying factor applies (Energy Community or Domestic Content), and 30% only when both apply. Most homeowners land near 25%. It is up to 30% — not a promise of 30%.
Maintenance, monitoring, insurance, the production guarantee and the equipment warranties are included for the first six years, carried by our financing partner rather than billed to you. If you sell the house before year 6, the agreement is assumable and transfers with the property (a $250 assignment fee applies).

A no-pressure design and savings plan for your roof and bills — including which path (cash, loan, or GreeMpower Prepaid Solar) captures the most value for you. The best solution for you, not for a commission.
A named project manager — with a face and a direct line — runs your project from survey through field work. For quick “where are we?” questions, a 24/7 status portal answers instantly. For real decisions, your Project Manager picks up.
We carry the project through permit, install, and inspection, and your Project Manager stays reachable after you’re energized and paid. Same person. A 30-minute response standard that doesn’t expire when the job does.
The residential 25D credit died — so we prepay your energy through our financing partner’s vehicle, which captures the commercial credit and passes the value to you. It’s a reward for prepaying, not a discount, and the amount depends on your equipment and location — never a flat number.
“Up to 30%, based on equipment + location.” A $50k system at 25% ≈ −$12.5k → ~$37.5k prepaid; the prepaid amount can be financed (first payment up to 90 days out, no equity required) or paid in cash.
We never blur the two. The financing partner is named on the financing detail & FAQ page and in your contract.
Many competitor leases drain the homeowner’s battery to sell into the grid — killing the savings that were the whole point — and quietly leave you owing sales tax on the energy. This structure doesn’t touch your battery, and there’s no sales tax on the energy. Facts you can verify, not claims.
We put it in writing on the parts that are ours: the site survey, the materials and their delivery, and the field installation work — plus the part the whole category breaks: your named Project Manager responds in 30 minutes or less, by email or voice, before, during, and after the install, even years later. If we miss on our own work or that response standard, we make it right — with a named person, not a chatbot loop.
We do not guarantee the utility’s Permission-to-Operate date — that clock is the utility’s, not ours. We guarantee our work, our materials, and our 30-minute response, and we tell you the truth about the rest. A promise we can’t keep isn’t transparency — it’s the next 1★ review.

A named GreeMpower Project Manager will reach out in under 30 minutes — by email or voice. No rep games, no pressure. Talk soon.
The prepaid vehicle is a Prepaid PPA through HDM, our financing partner. HDM provides the production guarantee, proactive monitoring, insurance, price caps, and system underwriting bundled into the term — those protections are HDM’s, not GreeMpower’s. GreeMpower owns the install, the named Project Manager relationship, and the written guarantee on our own field work. Your contract names HDM directly.
Your contract is with HDM, so the transfer is HDM’s process rather than ours. Roughly three to four months out, HDM mails the transfer notice to the address on the agreement. Nothing happens automatically — if the signed notice never comes back, the term simply continues, which is why your Project Manager tracks the date and chases it with you. The equipment warranties are assigned to you in that same paperwork, so keep your copy: you will need it for any future claim.
No — it’s up to 30%, and the tiers are set by HDM, not by us. Domestic-content eligibility in particular runs off HDM’s Approved Vendor List: only equipment on that list qualifies, and the list changes over time, so the same home can price differently in a different quarter. Whichever tier your home lands in is confirmed in writing on your proposal — ask to see it there rather than taking a number off a phone call.
It covers the parts we control: the site survey, materials and their delivery, the field installation work, and your Project Manager's under-30-minute response standard (before, during, and after — even years later). It does not cover the utility’s Permission-to-Operate date — that clock belongs to the utility, not us. We guarantee our work and our responsiveness, and tell you the truth about the rest.
No. Unlike many competitor leases, HDM does not discharge your battery to sell into the grid, and there’s no sales tax on the energy under this structure. These are verifiable facts — ask any competitor to put the same in writing.
Never. The portal is transparently a portal — it answers status, dates, and documents so you always know what step you’re on. Every decision or problem goes to a real, named human. We will never let automation impersonate your Project Manager.
Your Project Manager contacts you in under 30 minutes after you request your Honest Solar Plan. That same under-30-minute response standard holds for the life of the relationship, by email or voice.
Prepaid — no loan, no lease — with a locked price and the system yours by year 6. No salespeople, no commissions, and your Project Manager responds in under 30 minutes.
