A No-CapEx On-Site Decarbonization Solution
A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a financial arrangement where a third-party developer installs, owns, and operates a solar energy system on your property while you purchase the generated electricity at a predetermined rate. This solution is perfect for homeowners and commercial real estate owners seeking to decarbonize and lower their energy costs with zero upfront investment or financing required.
Under a PPA, you're paired with a financier who becomes the asset owner and includes full operations and maintenance coverage for the system's operating life. This includes 24/7/365 monitoring, damage claims, and emergency shutdown requirements. The result is an immediate building performance upgrade that can reduce energy expenses by 20% or more from day one.
After the majority of incentives are captured, buyout options at Fair Market Value may be offered. When the system reaches the end of its operating life, decommissioning is fully covered by the asset owner under the PPA Agreement.
