All Types of Financing

Glyde Solar’s strength as a solar company is its financing options. Glyde Solar has Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), leasing options, and purchase options through loans. Regardless of the type of financing you choose, there are zero costs upfront. 

• Lease — Glyde Solar owns your system and is responsible for maintenance. The monthly cost is fixed with an annual escalator. Net metering is available, but you do not qualify for tax credits since you do not own the system.
• Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) — PPAs is exactly the same as a lease, except the monthly payment will vary depending how much solar is produced by the system. 
• Loan — With a loan, the homeowner owns the solar system and qualifies for tax credits. The monthly payment is fixed, but the homeowner is responsible for maintenance of the system. Net metering is available with a loan as well.
• Purchase — Glyde Solar customers have the option to purchase the entire system upfront and immediately begin saving on electric bills.

New to the Industry

While Glyde Solar appears to have a professional website and some positive reviews, it is still a new company to the solar industry. The company was founded in 2020, and is not yet accredited by the Better Business Bureau; however, the company currently has an A rating on the BBB website. Whether Glyde Solar has any NABCEP certified employees is unknown. 

Since Glyde Solar is new to the industry, reviews of the company are slim. The existing reviews are positive, but the small number of reviews indicates that the company has not done many projects yet. 

Lastly, because Glyde Solar is a new solar company, it is continuing to grow. This is not a negative thing — but it is uncertain what the company’s exact service area is. The company is based in Utah, yet most reviews are from customers in Florida. 

Warranties Unknown

The Glyde Solar website lists a few of the main solar brands that the company partners with. Aside from this list, there is little information about the solar panels that Glyde Solar installs. The website does not mention anything about equipment or workmanship warranties. The Glyde Solar blog explains what these are, but does not indicate what warranties the company offers with its installations.
