The unsecured solar loan has a 0% interest rate with a one-time balloon payment due in 12 or 18 months. You can pay off the loan within the 12 or 18 months and not pay any interest.

The secured solar loans are simple interest loans with no prepayment penalty.

Late Fee: If any part of a payment is more than ten days late, we will charge you a late fee equal to 5% of the scheduled payment or $25, whichever is greater.

You will receive a quarterly member statement throughout the term of the loan. In addition, Tech CU will send reminder letters at 6, 3, and 1 month intervals prior to the one-time payment due date.

If you do not pay the balance in full by the due date, the rate will change from 0% to 18% and will be in default. You can apply with Tech CU for an unsecured personal loan to refinance the unsecured solar loan.

The Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is currently a 30 percent federal tax credit claimed against the tax liability of residential (Section 25D) in solar energy property. The Section 25D residential ITC allows the homeowner to apply the credit to his/her personal income taxes. This credit is used when homeowners purchase solar systems and have them installed on their homes.

• A tax credit is a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the income taxes that a person or company claiming the credit would otherwise pay the federal government. The ITC is based on the amount of investment in solar property.
