Solar Energy System AlternativesThere are many solar energy system alternatives. Leasing a solar power system is an option to adopting solar energy. However, customers with leases must operate, maintain, clean and manage the system themselves—and connect it to the grid. In addition, leasing costs are fixed; you’ll pay the same monthly fee no matter what amount of energy your leased system generates. Purchasing a solar facility has all the same drawbacks as leasing, and the customer must find the capital to purchase the system. With our PPA you pay only for the energy our system generates, and, in addition to all installation and set-up, we manage the system’s maintenance and upkeep.
What is a PPA?A Power Purchase Agreement, or PPA, is a long-term contract to buy power from a specific energy provider. Solar PPAs are agreements between a provider and a customer to purchase on-going solar power, usually equal to or less than market rates. Bentley Global Solar, as a PPA provider, installs and maintains solar facilities on customer rooftops or properties. As a solar PPA customer, you pay for solar power—not solar equipment or installation—greatly reducing the risk and complications of implementing a solar energy solution. PPAs are powering the growth of solar, comprising upwards of 75% of all newly constructed commercial, government, and not for profit solar facilities.
Why Use a Solar PPA? When is a PPA right for you? If you own your building, you are the ideal candidate. Facilitating equipment installation on a rooftop you own, rather than lease, is much simpler. Solar PPAs usually last 20+ years and are best for organizations that plan to occupy a building long term. Solar PPAs can work for long-term leases with some specific changes to the terms and conditions. Property owners that want to provide affordable and renewable energy to their tenants are also outstanding candidates for solar PPAs. | |
