Drews Solar does not offer in-house financing. But based on our customers’ experience and our own research, we do have a few recommendations for financial institutions to consider:
Greenpenny
If you are looking for a solar-loan from an organization similar to Drews Solar, Greenpenny, a solar and renewable-energy lender, may be the right choice for you. We share a lot of values: intentionally small, dedicated to clear communication and transparency, committed to making the process as easy for homeowners as possible, and personal every step of the way. Greenpenny offers competitive rates, very low up-front fees, and flexible loans that can cover the whole cost of going solar. Drews Solar is a registered dealer with Greenpenny: we receive nothing in return for being a registered dealer, but as a trusted installer, our customers will receive discounted up-front fees and easier pre-approval for solar loans.

Marine Credit Union
Marine Credit Union is a Wisconsin-based credit union that has been actively reaching out to homeowners who want to go solar. Marine Credit Union specializes in loaning to those who may not be able to easily qualify for a loan through other financial institutions. We recommend reaching out to Marine Credit Union’s solar loan specialist, Mike Ellious at mike.ellious@marinecu.com to get the process started.
It may take a bit of time, but by obtaining a solar loan from your own bank or credit union, or one of the options above, you may save a lot of money over the lifetime of your loan, making going solar an even better investment.
