The Rise of Prepaid: How Solar Financing Is Changing in 2026

Content Library Main

Solar financing changed overnight. With the Section 25D credit gone for cash and loan buyers, third-party ownership is fast becoming the default — and one product is moving fastest to fill the gap: the prepaid lease. For most teams, the question isn’t whether to offer prepaid leases — it’s how to sell them with confidence.

To break it down, we’re joined by Participate.Energy, a leading prepaid lease provider, on where the market is heading and what’s working today. We cover what prepaid leases are and how they’re reshaping residential financing — then show how Aurora keeps your reps ready with the right option for every customer, all from a single proposal. We also share a first look at the Aurora–Participate integration, built to make selling prepaid leases easier than ever.
