A Solar Power Purchase Agreement (SPPA) is a financial arrangement in which a third-party developer owns, operates, and maintains the photovoltaic (PV) system, and a host customer agrees to site the system on its property and purchases the system's electric output from the solar services provider for a predetermined period.
UVcell Solar offers a PPA program specifically designed for commercial properties like schools. Here’s why it works well: Zero Upfront Costs: UVcell Solar covers the cost of installing and maintaining the solar system, so there’s no big initial expense.
What is a Power Purchase Agreement? In a PPA, a solar purchaser or “offtaker” buys power from a project developer at a negotiated rate for a specified term without taking ownership of the system. The project developer procures, builds, operates, and maintains the system.
The PPA typically specifies the offtaker’s options at the end of the contract, which usually consist of contract termination and system removal, contract renewal, or the option to purchase the system at fair market value. Determining a PPA pricing structure is a crucial step in the successful outcome of the PPA process.
