In plain language
Use Amount financed only after the cash-flow perspective, timing, contract structure, included costs, and omitted items are made explicit.
What it is not
It is not automatically the same as loan principal, cash price, or the amount paid to the solar installer.
Decision context
Why it matters
Read the actual disclosure because amount financed can differ from cash price, contractual note amount, proceeds, principal shorthand, and total of payments.
