No Capital? No Worries
Efficiency Pays for Itself
Energy Financing
GoGreen is part of the California Hub for Energy Efficiency Financing (CHEEF), a state-administered program working towards a cleaner and more energy-efficient California. Funds from investor-owned utility ratepayers power our program, and we partner with finance providers and local contractors to make it happen.
Key Benefits:
- Low to 0% Interest
- Financing for 100% of Project Costs
- Flexible repayment Options
- Option to repay through Utility Bill
How it Works
The GoGreen Financing programs offer finance companies a credit enhancement in the form of a loss reserve. The loss reserve helps mitigate the risk for finance companies because they can access these funds in the case of a default. This allows the finance companies to offer more attractive terms – like lower rates, larger amounts to borrow, or longer time periods for repayment – than they otherwise could. The credit enhancement also allows finance companies to approve financing for a wider base of borrowers, such as homeowners with lower credit scores or small businesses with only a few years of operating history.
