How Salam Solar Works — No Loan, No Interest, $0 Down

Solar for Michigan homeowners — No upfront cost • No loans • No interest-based financing hello@salamsolar.com  ·  English & Arabic support
How it works

How a no-cost solar PPA actually works — explained simply.

If you’ve seen “free solar” ads in Michigan, most of them are 25-year loans dressed up as savings. Salam Solar is structurally different. Here’s the whole thing in plain language — no jargon, no fine print.

The 30-second version

  • We install solar panels on your roof — at no cost
  • You don’t take a loan. There’s no financing.
  • You only pay for the clean power produced — usually below DTE/Consumers rates
  • No hard credit pull. No interest. No debt added to your name.
  • Faith-conscious structure — happy to walk through with your imam or family advisor
The process

From first call to flipped switch — in 4 steps

Most homeowners go from form submission to flipped switch in 4–8 weeks, depending on utility interconnect time.

1

Send your basics

Name, address, monthly DTE/Consumers bill. Takes 5 minutes. No commitment, no credit pull.

2

Roof & usage review

Our team reviews your roof condition, sun exposure, and recent usage. Typically same business day. We tell you straight whether your home qualifies.

3

Plain-language walk-through

If you qualify, a 15-minute call to walk through the agreement clause by clause. English or Arabic. We’re happy to include your imam, family advisor, or attorney.

4

Install & flip the switch

Typical install is 1–2 days on-site. Utility interconnect with DTE or Consumers usually takes a few weeks. Then your system is live — and your bill drops.

The structural difference

Solar PPA vs. Solar Loan — in plain language

This is the question that matters most. Most “$0-down solar” offers in Michigan are 25-year loans. Salam Solar isn’t. Side-by-side:

Solar Loan

“Most ‘free solar’ ads in disguise”

  • You borrow money from a lender to buy panels
  • Interest accrues over the life of the loan
  • Hard credit pull required to qualify
  • Debt instrument added to your name
  • You owe the balance even if the system underperforms
  • Selling your home requires loan payoff or transfer
  • Interest-based — incompatible with faith-conscious structure for many families

Salam Solar PPA

Power Purchase Agreement — what we do

  • We install at no cost to qualified Michigan homes
  • You pay only for the clean power produced — by the kWh
  • No interest, no financing, no debt
  • No hard credit pull required
  • If the system underperforms, we own that risk — not you
  • Agreement transfers cleanly to a new homeowner if you sell
  • Faith-conscious structure — service agreement, not a loan
Who qualifies

What we look at when we review your home

Qualification is mainly about the home, not your finances. Here are the four things we check.

🏠

Roof condition

Roof needs to be in good enough shape to support panels for the agreement term. If it needs work first, we’ll flag that — no surprise charges later.

☀️

Sun exposure

South or west-facing slopes work best. Heavy shade or unusual obstructions may disqualify — we check this with satellite imagery before any visit.

⚡

Average bill

Higher monthly bills generally mean bigger savings. We don’t require a specific minimum, but we’ll show you projected savings up front.

🔑

Home ownership

You need to own the home (or be the decision-maker on the property). HOA-restricted properties — we can usually find a path; we’ll let you know.

Common questions

Honest answers, no fine print

Is this really free? What’s the catch?
There is no upfront cost for qualified homeowners. No deposit, no install fee, no financing. We make money over time from selling you the clean power produced — like a utility, but cheaper. The agreement is structured as a power purchase, not a loan or transfer of ownership.
Is this a loan? Will it affect my credit?
No. This is not a solar loan. There is no hard credit pull, no monthly debt added to your name, and no interest. You pay a per-kWh rate for the power the system produces, period.
Is this halal-friendly / faith-conscious?
The Salam Solar offer is structured as a service agreement to purchase clean power — not a loan or interest-based financial instrument. We’re happy to walk through the agreement with your imam, family advisor, or attorney before you sign anything.
How long is the agreement?
Standard term is 20–25 years, fully transferable if you sell the home. We’ll walk through the exact terms in writing before anything is signed.
What happens if I sell my home?
The agreement transfers to the new homeowner — most buyers see it as a benefit since their electric bill is lower from day one. If they don’t want it, there are buyout options we’ll detail in writing.
Who maintains the panels?
The panels and inverters are maintained at no cost to you for the life of the agreement. If anything fails, our team handles it.
What’s the rate per kWh?
Your custom rate is determined by your roof, sun exposure, and average usage. Most qualified Michigan homeowners see a per-kWh rate noticeably below DTE/Consumers tier rates. Exact number is in the eligibility review.
What if I cancel before install?
You can cancel at any point before equipment is on your roof. Once installation begins, normal contract terms apply — but we’ll walk you through every clause before you sign.
