About Sungage

Sungage Financial was founded by someone who went solar and wanted to make it better for the next person.

In early 2011, Sungage Financial launched the nation's first online solar loan designed specifically for residential projects.

We focus exclusively on providing our installer partners and homeowners with seamless, efficient and highly-supported financing options for solar energy and storage.

Learn More About Our Origin Story...

In 2009, Sungage Cofounder Sara Ross wanted to install solar on her home. While the savings were clear, financing was not. Her bank didn’t understand solar, she didn’t have the equity for a second mortgage, and leases meant giving up too much control.

She realized a better option didn’t exist, so she decided to create one. Teaming up with her installer, Sara used her daughter’s college savings to offer simple loans to other local homeowners.

The idea quickly took off. In 2011, she built Sungage Financial to bridge the gap between homeowners, installers, and financial institutions—making it easier for more people to go solar.

Sungage has continued to grow, but our focus remains the same: delivering consumer-friendly financing options for our installation partners. Now as a board member, Sara remains actively involved in helping guide our mission and keep us connected to our roots.
