Success Stories

When I built this house I assumed we would install solar hot water. Twenty years later, solar panels made more sense. Sungage made it possible to pull it off.

It’s great to have people randomly tell you that what you’re doing is important. Everyone should have solar on their roof. Sungage offered us a way to get there.

What if I refinance my home? Are there options for the handling of my solar loan?
a plus sign
Yes, if you are refinancing or entering into a new mortgage on your existing home, there are two options for handling your solar loan. Be sure to allow 3-4 weeks for processing, whichever option you choose. Option 1 is to pay off the solar loan with the proceeds of the new mortgage. The payoff amount can be obtained by email: SolarTransfer@nbtbank.com. There is no associated fee.

Option 2, a subordination of your solar loan to your new lender is available, requiring your lender or title company to interact directly with NBT Bank to execute the subordination agreement at solarucc@nbtbank.com. This will keep your solar loan in place and will allow your refinance to proceed. There is a $250 associated fee for filing the appropriate information with the registry of deeds in the localities.
