Welcome to Solar Relief Payments
Solar Relief Payments helps homeowners convert solar-related incentive funds into predictable monthly income through a structured promissory note. The program combines energy arbitrage (using electricity price differences) and interest rate arbitrage (using capital rate spreads) to create financial efficiency. Fixed monthly payments.
Arbitrage The practice of taking advantage of a price difference for the same (or equivalent) asset in different markets by buying low in one market and simultaneously (or near-simultaneously) selling high in another, profiting from the discrepancy with minimal risk.
Energy arbitrage (with battery and time-of-use example) The strategy of storing energy when prices are low and using or selling it when prices are high to profit from or reduce costs due to price fluctuations. Example: A homeowner with a battery charges it from the grid (or solar) during off-peak time-of-use hours at a low rate (e.g., $0.12/kWh overnight), then discharges the stored energy during peak hours to power the home instead of buying at the high rate (e.g., $0.40/kWh), saving significantly on electricity bills.
Financial rate arbitrage A form of arbitrage exploiting differences in interest rates (or borrowing/lending costs) by borrowing funds at a lower rate and deploying them to earn a higher rate. Example: A lender secures a low-interest-rate loan (e.g., at 3%) and uses those same funds to lend to borrowers at a higher interest rate (e.g., 7%), profiting from the spread between the borrowing and lending rates.
