Balto PATH

Smarter solar designed for longterm energy abundance

Simple. Powerful. Future-ready.

Balto PATH (Power Agreement for the Total Home) gives you a route to system ownership that guarantees access to solar tax credits, even after federal deadlines expire. 

Think of it as a smarter way to buy, with one upfront payment that’s 30% cheaper than paying with cash, and no monthly payments. 

But PATH isn’t just about solar. It’s your first step toward smarter, cleaner energy. With Balto as your long-term partner, you’ll track performance, plan upgrades, secure financing, and make better decisions over time. We’re here to make the whole journey easier.

Balto is working with Northern Pacific Power to ensure your home is ready for future electrification. That means enough energy and storage to handle added loads, plus service entrance upgrades that make it easier to plug in HVAC, heat pump water heaters, or EV chargers when you’re ready.

Power your journey to an energy independent home with Balto PATH.
