Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing is a way for property owners to fund energy-efficient and renewable energy improvements without paying upfront. Here’s how it works:

1. Financing Energy Upgrades: If you want to install solar panels, upgrade your heating and cooling systems, or make other energy-saving improvements, PACE provides the necessary funds.

2. Repayment Through Property Taxes: Instead of a traditional loan with monthly payments, you repay the financing through an additional charge on your property tax bill over a set period, often up to 20 or 30 years. (Pace Nation)

3. No Upfront Costs: This structure allows you to start saving on energy bills immediately, as the cost is spread out over time.

4. Transferable Upon Sale: If you sell your property before fully repaying the PACE financing, the remaining balance typically transfers to the new owner, since the repayment is tied to the property, not the individual. (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau)
