How a Solar Lease Works

A solar lease is much like a car lease. Someone else owns the equipment, and you pay a monthly fee. A solar lease differs from a solar power purchase agreement in that you are paying for the equipment not just paying for the energy that the equipment produces. Also, a residential solar PPA will often have a fixed monthly cost for the life of the agreement while the lease will usually increase over time (although at a set amount, and probably less than electricity costs will.) However, all in all, they are very similar. Again, a solar lease is very compelling because it’s easy to evaluate. If your monthly lease costs are cheaper than your savings on electricity costs, it’s a no-brainer.

How is a solar lease different from a solar power purchase agreement?

A solar lease differs from a solar power purchase agreement in that you are paying for the equipment, not just paying for the energy that the equipment produces. Also, a residential solar PPA will often have a fixed monthly cost for the life of the agreement while the lease will usually increase over time (although at a set amount, and probably less than electricity costs will; historically, utility rates have increased over 5% each year.) However, all in all, they are very similar.

How does a lease or power purchase agreement work?

- A lease allows a customer to make a monthly payment over a fixed term, like 5, 10, or 15 years. At the end of the term the homeowner will have the option of paying for the remaining value of the system or having it removed. Interest is charged on the balance of the value of the solar system for the duration of the lease.

- A power purchase agreement is a long term contract to buy electricity produced by the solar system. The term of the contract is typically 15 to 20 years. The site owner does not own the solar system during the term of the contract. At the end of the contract the homeowner will have the option to purchase the system for the remaining value of the system or having it removed. Some of these contracts also allow a customer to purchase the system before the end of the term of the contract. The cost of the electricity from the solar system may escalate over the term of the contract and the escalation rate will be specified in the contract. The escalation rate may or may not be at the same rate that the local utility will charge over the same period. The homeowner will still be a customer of the local utility and purchase electricity from the utility when the solar system does not produce electricity (such as overnight or on a cloudy day).

 

Go Solar for $0 Down

Now you can afford to go solar without the high initial cost of installing a system. Instead of buying the equipment, you simply lease it. Solar leasing has become one of the most popular residential & commercial solar financing option in the country!

Save on Electricity Costs from Day One

With a Green Dog Solar lease, you pay as you go, instead of all at once. The combination of your low monthly lease payment and smaller electricity bill can be less than what you pay for electricity today. So you can start saving money from the very first day.

Lock in a Low Electricity Rate

Your savings can grow over time as utility rates continue to increase. With a Green Dog Solar lease, you can lock in lower solar electricity rates for the term of your lease.

Smart Financial Investment

A Green Dog Solar lease does not require a big upfront payment so you can save your money for other opportunities. You save money every month on electricity bills so you can be cash flow positive from day one. In addition, you do not have to worry about unexpected repair costs because they are covered under a lease.

There is the international, IEC, CE, ETL, UL and CEC California ratings to provide for the solar panel solar power qualifications. For large scale solar power electrical generation systems utility or Investment Grade panels must be used to meet the set upon required solar power production schedules. The solar panels must produce or meet a certain percentage of maximum power to meet what the power company needs to integrate the solar power with the electrical grid. For this reason solar panels must be manufactured to meet these standards and thus have provided for a much higher quality and reliable solar panel, solar power products, on the market.
