Flexibility to Utilize Solar Incentives

Upon receipt of any solar incentive funds, such as the Federal Solar Tax Credit or Solar Renewable Energy Credits (e.g. Illinois Shines), borrowers have the option to pay down the principal of their solar loan, or use the funds on something else - whichever scenario fits their financial needs best at that time. Be sure to consult your tax advisor, local utility and solar installer on any incentives for which you may be eligible.
