A solar energy technician wearing a white hard hat and dark shirt walks along a rooftop lined with solar panels under a clear blue sky. In the foreground, a brochure from Clean Energy Funding Solutions titled “ZNE Zero Net Energy” is prominently displayed. The brochure features a city skyline with solar panels and text explaining how to cut building operating expenses with clean renewable energy and no upfront costs.Clean Energy Funding Solutions offers Sustainable Design and Engineering Services designed to deliver Energy Efficient Architectural Developments.

Since 2006, Clean Energy Funding Solutions has completed hundreds of solar installations for residential homeowners in California. With our turn-key process, we design and install your solar panel system, including handling all the permits and rebates. CESF has the expertise to help you build a brighter future and realize immediate savings—often with $0 down!

Going Solar GraphicA solar energy system may seem complex, but there are no moving parts and minimal maintenance. It’s technology at its best—sustainable, clean energy from a renewable resource. See how you can benefit from solar!

Clean Energy Funding Solutions wants you to understand what you’re purchasing and how it works. Although they may look complicated, solar panels have no moving parts and require very little maintenance other than occasional cleaning. An inverter takes the DC power directly from the solar panels and converts it to the same AC power that your home uses. Solar + battery storage is a great combination, but batteries are optional. At CEFS, we care about helping homeowners plan for future energy consumption. Did you know that the average American household consumes 5% more power year over year? That matched with the rising cost of power and fuel, the time to go solar now has never been greater.

Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity that your home can use, reducing your electricity bills. The solar cells, which are also referred to as photovoltaic cells, absorb sunlight during daylight hours.

You now have solar panels working efficiently to transform sunlight into electricity, but the electricity generated is called direct current (or DC) electricity, which is not the type of electricity that powers most homes, which is alternating current (or AC) electricity. Fortunately, DC electricity can easily be changed into AC electricity by a gadget called an inverter. In modern solar systems, these inverters can be configured as one inverter for the entire system or as individual microinverters attached behind the panels.

Your monitoring system sends information about how much power your solar system is producing in real-time so you can maintain optimal system performance.

On cloudy days and overnight, your solar panels may not be able to capture enough sunlight to use for energy; conversely, in the middle of the day when nobody is home, they may collect surplus energy—more than you need to operate your home. That’s why a meter is used to measure the electricity flowing in both directions—to and from your home. Your utility company will often provide credits for any surplus power you send back to the grid. This is known as net metering. To learn more about NEM 3.0 click here.
Power Your Home, Protect Your Future
Rate structureThere are many advantages for homeowners who choose to go solar. Across the country, states and utilities offer programs that make solar energy more rewarding than ever.

In many areas, homeowners can receive credits or compensation for excess energy their solar system produces and sends back to the grid—similar to net metering, though the exact structure varies by state and utility. Some regions also offer sales and property tax exemptions, helping you save even more without increasing your tax burden.

Going solar means becoming your own power company. You can reduce dependence on the grid, protect yourself from unpredictable rate hikes, and lock in lower energy costs for decades to come.

Investing in solar isn’t just about saving money—it’s about gaining control, energy independence, and a cleaner future for your home.

Property Value RiseProperty Tax Exemption – 100% through 2027
Installing solar panels on your home increases its value by up to 20 times your annual energy bill savings. We don’t think you should be penalized for your sustainable decision, and many state legislators agree! Now extended until 2027, new solar installations will be subject to no additional property taxes based on their assessed value.

Increase Home Value 
Having a residential solar energy system on your property is a capital improvement that adds to your property’s value. This means you can sell your home faster and for more than homes without solar. Your investment in efficient, clean solar power also adds to the tax basis of your home. If you sell the house, this tax-based investment can be deducted from the sale’s price, reducing the amount of the price counted as profit. This reduces the taxes taken from the sale and may help you avoid capital gains taxes on the appreciation.

Zero Down Solar Financing 
From permitting to installation, we’ll take care of everything. After you order, we’ll gather remote aerial imagery of your home, design your system, take care of any necessary permits, and schedule your installation. Once installed, we’ll schedule an inspection with the city and work with your utility company to receive approval to power it on.
