Energy Trust is now offering a new lending option for Solar customers in collaboration with Inclusive Prosperity Capital Inc (IPC) and participating trade allies. The new lending option provides transparent, no-money-down, no-hidden-fee loans with low interest rates and fixed monthly payments to help customers install solar equipment, battery storage (paired with qualifying solar systems), electric vehicle chargers (solar and/or storage must be part of the project), and enabling upgrades or repairs (up to 25% of the loan amount).

Smart-E Lending is intended to give customers another option for financing their solar projects without the negative surprises sometimes associated with other solar financing offers.

Energy Trust is now enrolling trade allies to offer Smart-E Lending. We will conduct multiple enrollment training sessions with small groups of trade allies through Q1 2026 as the offer ramps up. To secure a spot on the Smart-E Lending waitlist, please contact your account manager or email smart-e@energytrust.org.
