Reduce your reliance on the grid and stay prepared year-round – get started with no upfront payments.
Rising utility costs, grid instability, and extreme weather are driving more homeowners to invest in energy system upgrades such as solar panels, battery storage systems, and backup generators.
Qualified homeowners can use PACE financing to fund eligible energy system upgrades with no upfront payments, repaid over time through a special assessment added to their property tax bill.
ENERGY SYSTEMS THAT MAY QUALIFY FOR PACE FINANCING
Below are common energy system upgrades that may be eligible under the residential PACE program (specific products, financing terms, and installation requirements can vary by location and are subject to change):
SOLAR PANEL SYSTEMS
- Grid-tied solar photovoltaic (PV) systems
- Roof-mounted or ground-mounted solar arrays
- Solar inverters and required balance-of-system components
SOLAR BATTERY STORAGE SYSTEMS
- Home energy storage systems
- Battery backup systems
BACKUP GENERATORS
- Permanently installed whole-house natural gas or propane generators (gasoline or diesel generators are not eligible)
HOW PACE WORKS FOR ENERGY SYSTEM UPGRADES
PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) financing helps qualified homeowners pay for eligible upgrades over time.
With PACE, you:
- Don’t need a credit score to qualify (approval subject to underwriting requirements)
- Start your project with no upfront payments
- Can finance as little as $2,500 and up to $250,000 (subject to approval)
- Repay through a property tax assessment over time
- Work with a Renew Financial registered contractor
- Can bundle improvements (for example: backup generator + roofing + HVAC) depending on qualification

ENERGY SYSTEMS FAQs
Can I finance solar panels?
Eligible California and Florida homeowners may be able to finance qualifying solar panel systems through PACE financing, depending on the program and local guidelines.
Why should I install a solar battery system?
A solar battery system stores excess electricity generated by your solar panels so you can use it later — at night, during peak rate hours, or when the grid goes down.
Homeowners in California and Florida often install solar batteries for greater energy independence, protection against outages, and better control over electricity costs.
Can I finance a solar battery system?
Yes. Eligible homeowners can finance qualifying home battery storage systems.
Is a solar battery worth the investment?
A solar battery system may be worth considering if you:
- Live in an area with frequent outages
- Have time-of-use electricity rates
- Want backup power without a generator
- Want to maximize the value of your solar panels
- Prefer greater energy independence
Can I finance a whole-house generator?
Yes. Eligible homeowners can finance a permanently installed natural gas or propane generator, provided the system meets program and local guidelines.
What are the repayment terms for PACE financing when installing energy systems?
PACE offers long repayment terms, which can extend up to 30 years under California law and up to 20 years under Florida law. However, the specific repayment period is determined by factors like the project’s scope, the materials used, and the property’s location.
What does a whole-house generator cost?
Installed generator systems commonly range from a couple of thousand dollars to $20,000+, depending on capacity and installation complexity.
Is PACE financing based on my credit score?
Qualifying for PACE financing does not require a traditional minimum credit score, but eligibility is based on multiple factors and program rules, including, but not limited to, eligible collateral, available equity, and ability to repay. Start an eligibility check to see if you qualify.
How do I get started?
Start by checking eligibility, then request a contractor estimate for qualifying upgrades. Once your project scope is confirmed, you can proceed through the approval and installation steps.
