Update 01 · Policy Change
Minimum FICO Score Reduced to 660
Effective Now

Skylight has lowered the minimum FICO score requirement for the Solar Lease program to 660. This expansion in eligibility means more of your homeowners can now qualify — including customers who may have been declined in the past.

  • Minimum FICO is now 660 — down from the previous threshold
  • Skylight uses Experian for all credit applications — no exceptions
  • Revisit recently declined applicants who scored between 660–679
💡 Tip: All other program eligibility requirements remain unchanged. FICO score is one factor in the overall credit decision.

Skylight has updated storage pricing to be more competitive and reduced the minimum solar system size required to pair with battery storage.

  • Minimum solar required for solar + storage is now 3 kW
  • More competitive battery pricing — contact your Account Manager for current figures
  • Applies to all new projects submitted going forward
Why it matters: Lower solar minimums and improved battery economics make it easier to attach storage on smaller systems and present a stronger value prop to homeowners.

Three new solar panel models have been added to the Skylight Approved Vendor List (AVL), effective immediately. These modules are eligible for use in Solar Lease projects right away.
