Direct Product Inventory & Streamlined Logistics
At Infinium Solar Roofing and Electric, we maintain our own product inventory, sourcing premium solar panels, inverters, and mounting hardware directly from manufacturers, unlike contractors dependent on third-party distributors.
That translates to:
- Faster installation timelines
- Consistent component quality across projects
- Competitive pricing backed by efficient purchasing
Design Driven by Engineering
With leadership that combines engineering training and decades of field experience, our design process focuses on performance, roof compatibility, and code compliance rather than one-size-fits-all layouts.
We evaluate:
- Historical usage patterns from your utility bills
- Roof orientation, shading, and structural conditions
- Future needs like EV charging or battery storage
Clear Communication & Bilingual Support
Solar leasing involves long-term agreements, so clarity matters. Our team takes time to walk through lease terms, payment structure, and end-of-term options in plain language.
Experience the Benefits of Our Solar Leasing Services
Our solar leasing lets you host a solar energy system on your property for a predictable monthly payment instead of buying the equipment. You benefit from solar electricity, while the system is owned by the leasing provider.
Key advantages of Infinium Solar Roofing and Electric’s solar leasing for homes and businesses include:
- Lower upfront cost compared to purchasing a system.
- Predictable monthly payments that help stabilize part of your utility spend.
- Professional design and installation from a local, licensed contractor.
- Included maintenance for the life of the lease, helping keep the system performing as designed.
Leasing can be especially attractive if you prefer to keep cash available for other projects, don’t want another long-term loan on your credit, or can’t use federal tax credits as effectively as a leasing provider can.
Our Solar Leasing Process & What to Expect
1. Site Evaluation & Energy Review
We begin with a detailed review of your property and energy usage:
- Roof inspection to assess age, condition, and suitability for mounting
- Shading analysis from nearby trees, chimneys, and neighboring homes
- Review of your recent utility bills to understand seasonal patterns
If your roof requires work, our roofing division can coordinate repairs or replacement as part of the overall plan.
2. Custom System Design & Lease Proposal
Next, our design team creates a solar layout and provides a clear lease proposal that outlines:
- Estimated annual energy production.
- Monthly lease payment and term length.
- Expected portion of your electricity usage offset by solar.
- Available options for battery backup or future upgrades.
You’ll see how the solar lease interacts with your utility bill, helping you understand the potential long-term savings.
3. Permits, Approvals, & Utility Coordination
Once you approve the proposal, Infinium Solar Roofing and Electric handles the technical and administrative work:
- Preparing drawings and documentation for the City of Dublin permitting department
- Coordinating approvals with your utility provider for interconnection
- Scheduling inspections according to local requirements
You stay informed through each step without having to manage the paperwork.
4. Professional Installation & System Activation
Our in-house crews install the solar array, mounting hardware, and electrical components with the same standards we apply to our roofing and electrical projects across the Bay Area:
- Code-compliant attachment to the roof structure.
- Clean conduit runs that fit your property layout.
- Thorough safety checks before energizing the system.
After final inspection and utility approval, we activate your system and confirm that production is tracking as expected.
5. Activation & Monitoring Setup
After municipal and utility inspections approve the system, we activate monitoring software accessible through your phone or computer. You'll see real-time production data, historical performance graphs, and environmental impact metrics tracking CO2 offset and equivalent tree planting.
6. Ongoing Monitoring, Maintenance, & Support
Throughout the lease term, Infinium Solar Roofing and Electric remains your primary point of contact for questions, performance checks, and maintenance. Depending on your lease structure, this can include:
- Remote monitoring of system performance
- Service visits if production varies from expected ranges
- Support if you remodel, add an EV charger, or plan a battery backup
What Makes Solar Leasing Right for Your Property?
Solar leasing can be a strong choice if:
- You want lower upfront costs than a full purchase.
- You prefer a predictable monthly payment rather than a new loan.
- You plan to stay in your current home for several years and want to stabilize part of your electric bill.
- You like the idea of professional maintenance built into the agreement.
Homeowners in Dublin face similar challenges: rising utility costs and limited roof space. Fortunately, a well-designed lease system helps you use that space effectively without committing all your cash upfront.
If you’re comparing leasing versus owning, our team can prepare side-by-side scenarios so you can choose the structure that fits your goals today and your plans for the future.
Frequently Asked Questions About Solar Leasing
How is solar leasing different from buying a system?
With a purchase, you own the equipment, pay for it upfront or with financing, and directly claim any available tax credits. With a solar lease, the leasing provider owns the system while you pay a fixed monthly amount to use the power it produces. Leasing reduces the initial cost and often includes maintenance support, while ownership offers a more long-term financial upside if you plan to keep the property for many years.
What happens if I sell my home during the lease?
Most lease agreements offer two common options:
- Transfer the lease to the buyer, subject to the leasing company’s approval.
- Pay off or buy out the remaining portion of the lease, depending on the contract.
Our team coordinates with your leasing provider and real estate agent to streamline this process so the new owner can continue enjoying solar power with clear documentation.
Who is responsible for maintenance & repairs?
In a typical solar lease, the system owner (the leasing provider) is responsible for maintaining and servicing the equipment during the term. That can include troubleshooting, inverter replacement, and panel repairs covered under the agreement. Infinium Solar Roofing and Electric acts as your local installer and service partner, so you get manufacturer support and a nearby crew that knows your system.
Can I add battery backup or upgrade the system later?
Many lease structures allow for system upgrades during or at the end of the term, such as adding battery storage or expanding capacity if your usage grows. We review upgrade paths during your consultation so you understand how future additions like EV charging or home expansions fit into the lease framework.
Does the City of Dublin require permits for solar projects?
Yes. Solar installations in this area require permits and inspections to verify safety, structural integrity, and electrical compliance. Infinium Solar Roofing and Electric manages permit applications, plan submittals, and inspection scheduling as part of your project to reduce the workload on your end while helping the project stay aligned with local codes.
Can I purchase the system before the lease ends?
Yes, most agreements include buyout provisions allowing early purchase at depreciated fair market value. We can provide current buyout quotes at any point during the lease term.
How long does a typical solar leasing project take?
Timelines vary based on system size, roof work, and permitting volume, but most residential solar leasing projects move through:
- Design and proposal
- Permit and approval
- Installation and inspection
Our integrated team and in-house inventory help keep each phase moving efficiently, and your project manager updates you at key milestones.
Does leasing affect my property taxes?
In California, leased solar systems typically do not increase property tax assessments since you don't own the equipment. However, local assessment practices vary, so we recommend confirming with your county assessor.
