The Awareness Group (TAG) has launched an innovative 30-year residential solar loan program exclusively for TAG GRID members across 26 states. The program features no dealer fees and above-industry-average payouts, designed to increase sales velocity and attract new platform members.
The loan program supports various project elements including new roofs, ground mounts, solar-supporting pergolas, inverters, tree trimming/removal, carports with solar installations, and EV chargers. Available in 26 states including Arizona, Florida, Texas, and Massachusetts, this financing solution aims to capitalize on the projected 10% annual growth in the U.S. residential solar market from 2025 to 2028.
According to industry data, more than 5 million U.S. homes are expected to have rooftop solar installed by 2026, up from 3.2 million in 2023. The market is anticipated to rebound following a projected 26% contraction in 2024.
