What is Rent-to-Own?
Rent-to-Own is a flexible solar and battery solution offered by BESTAR ENERGY. Customers can install and use a solar system with a fixed monthly rental, while gradually working toward full ownership through a buy-out mechanism.
Residential or commercial customers who want to reduce upfront installation costs
Users who want to use solar equipment first, then own it later
Customers who focus on cash flow management and flexibility
Rent-to-Own is not just renting, but a clear path from "use to own".
