Power Purchase Agreement
Power Purchase Agreement
Power Purchase Agreement
A power purchase agreement (PPA) is a contract between the commercial solar system owner (investor) and the business owner (off-taker). A PPA allows a business owner to host a solar installation on their site without any upfront costs. In return for the usage of the investment free solar system, the business owner purchases the electricity from the system owner at a pre-determined rate over a fixed term. Typically, the PPA rate is below the utility rate and fixed for a 10 to 20 years PPA term.
While the business owner puts $0 down, the PPA provider owns the system and is responsible for the warranty and maintenance.
Operating Lease
Power Purchase Agreement
Power Purchase Agreement
If you choose a solar operating lease, the solar lease provider owns the solar system, receives all of the federal tax credits and accelerated appreciation, while you receive the SMART incentives and the solar electricity.
You have a fixed monthly lease payment with a buyout option in year 7 at 15% of the commercial solar system value. With this lease option you receive benefits of a reduced utility bill, and will own the system, if you decide to purchase it at the 7th year.
Site Lease
Power Purchase Agreement
Site Lease
If your business doesn't consume a lot of electricity but if you have a large space, suitable for a commercial solar installation, a solar site lease could be the way to go. You don't pay anything for the solar system installation and don't use the solar electricity produced. While the investor chooses an external off-taker, or multiple, to consume the energy produced, you simply lease out your roof or land to the solar investor and receive an annual lease payment. Car parks are very attractive, with solar car shading structures installed by the investor which can be used by the property owner.
