Sungage BrightStart™: The New Generation of Residential Solar Financing

Sungage BrightStart™ is here! The next generation of residential solar financing designed for life beyond 2025. Built with flexibility and accessibility in mind, BrightStart is now available through our new partner portal, The Hive.

What is BrightStart?

BrightStart is Sungage’s new “post-ITC” loan product, designed to meet the needs of the future solar ownership market. It replaces our legacy products Sungage Advantage and Classic-18. With BrightStart, we’re bringing installers and their homeowners a financing solution that adapts to the evolving solar landscape while making solar ownership more accessible.

What makes BrightStart different?

BrightStart is currently the only deferred payment portion solar loan on the market today, offering installers amazing flexibility. Here’s how:

• Deferral Period: Choose between 0 months (for a straightforward, flat amortizing loan) or 36 months.
• Deferral Amount: Up to 25% of the loan amount, with the option to roll in applicable state and local incentives for up to 50% of the loan amount.
• Loan Terms:
  
  • 5, 10, 15, and 20 years available for Solar, Solar+, and Battery-only systems.
  • 25 years available for Solar and Solar+ projects.

The result? Low initial monthly payments, broad applicability, and a smart way to finance solar for the long term.
