What is the difference between the Solar Lease and PPA? While the terms "Solar Lease" and "Solar PPA" are generally mentioned together, there are subtle differences between the two. With a solar lease, you agree to pay a monthly rent in exchange for the right to use all the power generated by the system.

A solar power purchased agreement (PPA) is similar to a solar lease, but different in one key way instead of "Renting" the system, you instead agree to "Buy" the power generated by the system at a set price per kWh. Both options will save you money over what you pay your utility and both options will protect you against volatile electricity marketplace. Solar is a simple solution, go with a Lease or PPA if any of the following applies to your business:

Want no responsibility in owning or maintaining a solar system
Unable to benefit from tax credits
Do not want to take out a loan
More interested in a simple solution, where the solar company provides financing and installation of the solar (PV) system.

Take out a loan if the following applies to your business:

Comfortable owning and maintaining a solar system
Your tax liability is greater than the tax credits you would receive by owning the system
Willing to take out a loan
There are no solar lease or PPA options available in your state or the utility does not allow Solar Lease or PPA.
