Finally, A Prepaid Solar & Battery Lease We Can Put Our Name On
Traditional third-party leases are built to profit distant banks. We built ours to work for you!
No mysterious lenders or confusing fine print—just lower electric bills, greater energy security, and transparent prepaid lease from a local installer you already know and trust: Sun Valley Solar!
Save Up To 25% Instantly By unlocking commercial tax credits behind the scenes, we pass a massive upfront discount directly to you on day one.
Flexible for Your Energy Needs Available for solar-only, solar + battery, or battery-only additions to an existing solar system.
Purchase Option Beginning at Year 6 After your fifth year, you can choose to continue the lease or purchase the system at its then-current fair market value.
An Owner Partner You Can Trust: Sun Valley Solar owns and maintains the system for the first five years. No faceless banks or shareholders looking for a quick profit.
We are a founding member of the Amicus Solar Cooperative, a network of nearly 100 ethical, independent solar installers. Together, we built the Amicus Impact Lease to empower local installers like Sun Valley Solar with a transparent, mission-driven product focused on YOUR savings success.
An Owner You Know. The Installer You Trust.
Sun Valley Amicus Impact Leasing owns, operates, and maintains the system throughout the initial five-year lease term. This structure allows us to utilize available commercial solar tax incentives while offering customers up to 25% in upfront savings through a single prepaid lease payment.
Designed by Us. Built for Arizona.
Working alongside our Amicus Cooperative partners, we created the Sun Valley Amicus Impact Prepaid Lease specifically for Arizona. It's not a generic lease product from a national bank—it's a solution designed around Arizona homes, Arizona utility plans, and the unique needs of Arizona homeowners. Most importantly, it's a program we're proud to put our own name on.
How It Works
1. Custom Design & Up to 25% Upfront Savings
We design a solar, battery, or solar + battery system tailored specifically to your home and energy goals. A single prepaid lease payment covers the initial five-year lease term while delivering up to 25% in upfront savings.
Residential solar tax credits ended for homeowner-owned systems in 2025, but qualifying commercial solar incentives remain available. Sun Valley Amicus Impact Leasing owns the system throughout the initial five-year lease term, allowing us to utilize available commercial tax incentives and deliver up to 25% in upfront savings through the prepaid lease.
3. Your Options Beginning in Year Six
Throughout the initial five-year lease term, you receive 100% of the clean energy the system produces, backed by covered maintenance and our five-year performance guarantee. After your fifth year, you can choose to continue the lease or purchase the system at its then-current fair market value. The purchase price is determined at the time you choose to buy based on the system's fair market value at that time.
4. Optional Continuation
Not ready to buy at year six? No problem. Simply continue your lease with low, fixed monthly payments. Sun Valley Solar Solutions will keep actively monitoring and maintaining your system the entire time.
5. Long-Term Savings
If you choose to purchase the system—whether beginning in year six or later in the lease term—the lease ends and ownership transfers to you. The purchase price is based on the system’s then-current fair market value at the time you choose to buy.
Any remaining eligible manufacturer warranties can then be transferred as applicable, with panel warranties lasting up to 30 years and battery warranties up to 15 years. And if you’d like continued support after purchase, Sun Valley Solar Solutions offers optional standalone maintenance plans to help keep the system performing for years to come.
While residential solar tax credits ended for homeowner-owned systems in 2025, commercial solar tax incentives remain available under a different section of the tax code. As a founding member of the Amicus Impact Cooperative, we established Sun Valley Amicus Impact Leasing LLC. This commercial entity allows us to access these tax credits and pass the savings along to you, provided we retain ownership of the system for a minimum of five years.
At the start of Year 6 (month 61)—once Sun Valley Amicus Leasing fulfills the 5-year ownership period required by the IRS—you can purchase the system outright with a single fair-market-value payment.
Most solar lease horror stories stem from the same root cause: long-term contracts designed by national lenders that feature aggressive annual price hikes and complicated transfer rules. Rather than offering an off-the-shelf product we can't control, we partnered with our Amicus Cooperative to build our own. The result is a transparent, locally managed lease designed specifically to put the homeowner first.
Here is how the Sun Valley Amicus Impact Lease eliminates traditional lease traps:
No Endless Payments: Instead of a never-ending 25-year bill, this lease features a transparent buyout option at year six.
No Rate Hikes: If you choose to extend your lease instead of buying the system, you lock in a fixed, predictable monthly payment.
No Faceless Middlemen: You aren't dealing with a national bank. The lease, the installation, and the long-term maintenance are all handled directly by Sun Valley Solar Solutions.
No Real Estate Roadblocks: If you decide to move, selling your home is seamless. You can easily transfer the agreement and its low energy payments to the new buyer, or buy the system outright to include in the sale.
A Straightforward Purchase Option: Beginning in year six, you can choose to continue the lease or purchase the system at its then-current fair market value.
To unlock available commercial solar tax credits, the system must be owned by a commercial entity—in this case, Sun Valley Amicus Leasing LLC —for the first five years. During this time, you receive 100% of the system’s energy and financial benefits. This includes up to 25% in upfront savings, and comprehensive, proactive system maintenance.
Because we handle both the financing and the installation, we make moving easy. You can transfer the lease to the new homebuyer (giving them the benefit of your low energy payments), or, if you are past the initial 5-year term, you can buy the system outright and include a fully owned solar asset in the sale of your home. We will work directly with you and your realtor to ensure a smooth transition.
Sun Valley Solar Solutions handles all servicing directly. You never have to deal with an out-of-state call center or a distant 3rd-party leasing company.
During Your Lease (Years 1–5+): All active monitoring, proactive maintenance, performance guarantee, and system repairs are 100% covered by Sun Valley Amicus Leasing at zero extra cost to you. If a component breaks or underperforms, our local crew fixes it.
If You Buyout The System (Year 6+): If you opt to purchase the system, all remaining manufacturer warranties (up to 30 years on panels and 15 years on batteries) plus our 10-year workmanship warranty transfer directly to you. Sun Valley Solar Solutions remains your local, go-to team for any future support.
If You Extend The Lease (Year 6+): Not ready to buy the system? If you choose to extend the lease and not opt to buyout the system, your coverage stays exactly the same. We continue to fully maintain, monitor, and repair your system at no additional cost, while your monthly payments stay locked.
