How a Solar & Battery PPA Cuts Costs From Day One

We finance, build, and operate your system. You simply purchase the electricity it produces at a lower, predictable rate.

1. PPA in Plain English

A Power Purchase Agreement means we own and maintain the system — you buy the energy at a contracted rate, typically 15–30% below your utility.

What You Avoid

  • • No upfront capital expense
  • • No construction risk
  • • No maintenance burden
  • • No performance uncertainty

What You Get

  • • 20–25 year predictable rate
  • • Immediate positive cash flow
  • • Full monitoring & insurance
  • • Optional battery integration

2. Why Businesses Choose a PPA

Immediate Savings

Month-one energy below utility rates.

Price Protection

Utility rates rise 4–6% annually. Your PPA doesn’t.

100% O&M Included

We operate and maintain the asset.

3. Additional Savings Through Batteries

Batteries reduce peak demand charges and provide resilience during outages.

Peak Demand Reduction

Cut 15-minute spikes by 25–40%.

Energy Time-Shifting

Store midday solar, deploy during high-cost hours.

4. PPA vs Utility Economics

Year-1 Example

Utility: 11.5¢ @ 4% inflation
PPA: 8.9¢ @ 0–1% escalator
~22% immediate savings

10-Year Impact

At 150–200 kW scale, savings can reach mid six figures.
