What Is a Solar PPA?
A solar power purchase agreement (PPA) is essentially a financial arrangement between a developer and a customer. A developer will arrange the overall design, financing, permitting, and installation of a solar panel system on a customer’s property.
They’re a popular financing option for those considering going solar in the U.S. because they allow you to install home solar on your roof (or anywhere else on your property) for no upfront cost.
However, there are some downsides despite their zero-dollar down payment requirement. Here we’ll look at how a solar PPA works, their pros and cons, as well as market policy details to determine how much you can save on your electricity bill.
