OAKLAND, Calif., April 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Six years after Mosaic revolutionized the residential solar sector by offering innovative financing options, the company announced today the launch of PowerSwitch 6, the next generation of home solar loans. Backed by one of the premier global private equity firms and enjoying strong partnerships with top-tier financial institutions, Mosaic also announced that it has helped nearly 100,000 households go solar with its financing since the company's inception.
PowerSwitch 6 bundles together several new features designed to improve solar installers' cash flow, streamline processing, expand their markets, and lower their customer acquisition costs:
The PowerSwitch 6 suite offers two loan structures?PowerSwitch CHOICE and PowerSwitch PLUS?which complement Mosaic's home improvement loan. The existing industry-leading loan offering, renamed PowerSwitch CHOICE, is ideal for customers looking to add solar or solar and batteries to their home and take advantage of the 30 percent Federal tax credit to pay down their loan during the first 18 months. The new loan structure, PowerSwitch PLUS, provides a loan amortization schedule designed for customers who don't expect to receive a tax credit or who want to re-roof or make other energy efficiency improvements on their home at the same time as adding solar or solar and batteries, with payments reassessed at 18 months to reward any principal repayments.
WoodMac (formerly GTM Research) has reported that solar loans have become the dominant financing solution for residential solar customers, outperforming leases and other third-party-owned solar sales. This comes as no surprise to Billy Parish, co-founder and CEO of Mosaic.
"Mosaic is focused on accelerating the transition to 100% clean energy for all by providing the best way to finance clean energy," said Parish. "Six years later after entering the home solar financing market, we've secured strong capital backing and helped nearly 100,000 American households go solar using our financing platform. The PowerSwitch 6 suite will help us bring affordable solar to homeowners across the country for years to come."
Kevin Klink, co-founder and COO of Powerhome Solar, a fast-growing national residential and commercial solar provider, welcomes the launch of PowerSwitch 6.
"In addition to having an attractive loan product, Mosaic has been easy to work with and provided exceptional customer service," said Klink. "The Mosaic team is always asking for our feedback on their products, and the new features and enhancements in the PowerSwitch 6 loans confirm that they've been listening."
Mosaic has begun rolling out the PowerSwitch 6 platform to its installation partners and will continue to innovate with additional features over the course of the next few quarters.
