No commitment. We'll run the numbers for your specific address and utility rate.
We'll reach out within one business day with a custom savings analysis for your property. Check your inbox — and your spam folder, just in case.
We handle the engineering, permitting, utility interconnection, and installation. Your job is to keep the lights on.
We pull your utility data, run a solar irradiance model on your roof or property, and produce a precise 25-year savings projection — specific to your utility rate and state incentive program.
No commitment requiredDichotomy Solar funds 100% of the system cost. We handle permits, interconnection, and installation. Once energized, your monthly payment replaces a portion of your utility bill — at a lower rate.
$0 upfrontAt the five-year mark, you have the right — not the obligation — to buy the system at its fair market value. At that point, the federal ITC recapture period is clear and the economics of ownership are strongest.
Your choice to buyThese are illustrative estimates based on regional averages. Your actual savings depend on roof orientation, local utility rate, and system size. We'll run precise numbers after your site assessment.

Estimates assume 90% solar offset, state-average utility rates, and applicable incentive programs. Storage adds demand charge reduction value in CT and NY. Federal ITC of 30% is factored into system economics.
We've spent years analyzing the regulatory and incentive landscape in each state. We go deep where the economics are strongest.
Rhode Island's net metering credits excess generation at full retail rate — one of the strongest in New England. The Renewable Energy Growth (REG) program offers a set contract price for systems 25 kW–5 MW. We identify the optimal compensation structure for your load profile.
Strong NEMNYSERDA's NY-Sun program provides upfront $/Watt incentives on top of the ITC. The VDER value stack (energy + capacity + environmental + locational components) determines your compensation. We focus on National Grid NY and NYSEG territories where interconnection timelines are most manageable.
NY-Sun EligibleGreen Mountain Power's NM 2.0 structure rewards roof-mounted systems with location and category adjustors. Group net metering allows a single host to distribute credits to multiple accounts — a powerful vehicle for C&I solar with multiple tenant or subscriber structures.
Group NM AvailableCT's net metering structure credits excess at avoided cost (not retail), making standalone solar economics thin. We exclusively pair solar with battery storage in CT, unlocking demand charge management value for C&I customers. The CT Green Bank Smart-E Loan further improves project returns.
Solar + Storage OnlyThe 5-year structure isn't arbitrary. It's engineered around federal tax recapture rules and system depreciation schedules.
No upfront cost. Your monthly solar service payment replaces a portion of your utility bill at a guaranteed lower rate. Savings are locked in contractually.
Dichotomy Solar retains ownership and captures the 30% federal ITC and applicable MACRS depreciation. The system is fully maintained and production-guaranteed. Your savings accrue.
The federal ITC recapture period has fully elapsed. The system's fair market value has declined with depreciation. You can buy at a price that reflects the actual remaining useful life — typically 60–70% of original installed cost.
If you exercise, you own the system free and clear. Every kWh it produces is yours at zero marginal cost. With a 25-year panel warranty, you have two decades of grid bill displacement ahead.
The 30% federal tax credit can only be fully utilized by a taxpayer with sufficient federal tax liability. Most homeowners and small businesses can't efficiently capture the full ITC themselves. We can — and we pass the economic benefit through via a lower service charge.
30% federal ITC captured by Dichotomy Solar and passed through via reduced service charge
5-year ITC recapture period fully elapsed before your purchase option triggers — no clawback risk
Production guaranteed for the full service period — underperformance is our problem, not yours
Fair market value purchase price is pre-agreed and disclosed at signing — no surprises
Option, not obligation — if it doesn't make sense in year 5, you can extend or walk away per contract terms
Dichotomy Solar is the distributed generation arm of Dichotomy Capital LLC, an energy storage and distributed generation investment firm. We apply institutional underwriting discipline to every project — residential or commercial.
We know the NEM tariff, interconnection queue, and utility hosting capacity map in every state we operate. We don't win business in markets where the math doesn't work. If we're offering you a project, the economics are real.
We own the system. Our interest is in a system that performs for 25 years — not in selling you the most expensive equipment. We spec for reliability and long-term production, not margin on hardware.
The service agreement, purchase option mechanics, and production guarantee are disclosed fully at the proposal stage. We encourage you to have counsel review before signing. Complex financial structures shouldn't be opaque.
