Loan

You can help others put up solar panels — at no cost to you

Is your roof too shady for solar panels? Don’t own your own home? Already have solar?

  • Sun Buddies are the core of our micro-loan-like program. Sun Buddies provide local interest-free loans to community members to cover much of the upfront cost of installing PV solar systems on their homes.
  • Each loan is guaranteed by Seeds for the Sol, and the contractual paperwork and money exchange is processed by Seeds for the Sol.
  • Sun Buddy loans are repaid in 4-5 years.  The Sun Harvesters reap the sunshine, pay for the energy as they save, and repay Seeds for the Sol. Seeds for the Sol pays Sun Buddy loans in installments over 4-5 years.

To see if becoming a Sun Buddy is right for you, please email Julie Williams: julie@seedsforthesol.org.

Sun Buddy loans are not a tax-deductible donation. If you’d like to support our work with a donation, please click here.
