Ygrene is a leading Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing provider in Florida, offering innovative financing solutions for both residential and commercial property upgrades. Ygrene provides 100% financing for qualified projects, such as solar, with no upfront costs, with payments spread over up to 20 years for residential properties and up to 30 years for commercial properties. This means you can enjoy the benefits of a new solar upgrade long before you’ve made your first payment.

With more than a decade of experience and over $570 million in funded solar projects, Ygrene ensures that independent solar contractors that offer Ygrene PACE financing are verified, licensed, and insured, and they are only paid once you’ve signed off that your project has been completed to your satisfaction. Our goal is to offer our customers affordable financing that helps them meet their energy efficient needs.

PACE financing is subject to specific underwriting terms, conditions, fees, and guidelines. A first-priority lien for the total amount financed will be placed on your property as collateral. The payment start date is determined by the funding date and typically appears on your property tax bill following your funding date, though interest begins accruing at the time of funding. The financing term length depends on the useful life of the improvement funded.

Reasons Why You Should Work With Us
  1. 100% Financing with No Upfront Costs

  2. Flexible Long-Term Payments

  3. Immediate Project Completion

Ygrene financing provides 100% no money down financing to help property owners make energy efficiency, renewable energy, water conservation, and storm protection improvements to residential, multifamily, commercial and agricultural buildings.
PACE is different from many other financing options because the financing acts as an assessment on the property, which is why eligibility is based primarily on property equity and what you can afford based on your debt-to-income ratio.
Ygrene can be used to pay for hundreds of energy efficiency and renewable energy upgrades for both home improvement and commercial projects.
No minimum credit score is required to qualify. A soft credit pull is still necessary to check for bankruptcies and mortgage history, but your actual credit rating will not affect the final approval decision.
Your PACE financing will be added as an assessment which will show up as a new line item on your property tax bill.

Would Give A Zero No Star If Possible

I am elderly and on disability…was mislead on how program worked and now desperately trying to pay off the loan and get lien released before tax bill hits which will be soon. They will NOT give me a payoff unless I pay a $25.00 fee - not happy about that but decided to do it anyway as my out of state Dad will help me financially pay it off. Called and they will not accept payoff request with the required fee over the phone. Went to website on my ipad and kept Ygrene on phone while I entered all information to request the payoff. Would NOT work - was then informed I can’t do a payoff request on an iPad or an IPhone- HAS TO BE DONE ON A COMPUTER! I do NOT have a computer!!! RUN RUN RUN - No wonder their are lawsuits against these people!!!

Do Not Use!!

I went with YGrene because they were recommended to me. I was told one price on the phone and was overwhelmed with the amount of information they were telling me over the phone. The document i was given to sign had hidden fees all over the place and i had no idea. Instead of the original $34 a month i was told on the phone, $53 a month was told when it came time to pay. I called to question this and I am held liable because I signed the document. Do not go with this company, you have to read their paperwork very carefully to see what’s actually being charged to you. I would have never gone with them if i knew this. I’ve wasted my hard earned money.

Placed lien on title

I looked at my Ygrene for potential financing for my roof. Once I saw the fees I made the decision to get a no-fee HELOC. My roofing company had suggested YGrene and canceled the application. Ygrene took 8 weeks to begin the process of removed the lien which delayed my ability to move forward with a HELOC Beware of them- placing liens before a project even starts should be illegal.

Excellent customer service

Today I had the pleasure of speaking to Susana Canales.She was so patient and kind with me. She was so articulate and polite as well as very very helpful. She deserves a raise! Sincerely yours, Maryanne Budd

Ygrene saved my family from scorching FL heat

Few years ago, my 17 yr old AC gave up in FL heat and it had to be replaced. New AC units are very expensive and usually need to be paid for upon installation. Thankfully, my contractor told me about this new program that had just launched in my area called Ygrene. I can’t say enough good things about Ygrene. Within minutes, my worries disappeared and I received a positive response - - APPROVED! All the financing terms have been explained in advance and there are no surprises. I pay my bill yearly, when taxes are due. Ygrene customer service will explain everything you need to know about the program and give you payment options. Everyone is super friendly and approachable. My contractor installed my new AC next day after I signed up with Ygrene. I tell everyone I know about Ygrene and can’t believe that more people do not know about this amazing program. I am not sure what would I have done with small kids in a middle of FL summer if I did not find Ygrene. 10 out of 10 recommended!!!!

This is not okey

Ygrene does not want to help clients with 2017 projects to be able to make partial payments in this case of the Solar Panels, which implies that you must pay in 20 years in the annual property taxes, which means that an already high debt of 21 A thousand dollars of solar panels, for Ygrene, are converted into 40 thousand dollars, without allowing those customers to make partial payments, which they currently do. In the midst of the pandemic it has been more difficult to cover all kinds of debts, and with two more children and alone, which the financiers of this group do not care, even with these partial payments at present they refuse to consider giving This service to previous clients, that we are trapped in this debt to which they do not care at all to give us a better way to pay it, they say that if you pay everything, it is the only way. It is completely abusive and they compared this situation with a happy hour.
