Power Purchase Agreement

Pay Zero for the System. Hedge your Risk of Rising Energy Rates. Market your Sustainability.

The ability to hedge the risk of rising energy prices is a very attractive feature for clients planning the future success of their businesses. Still, the upfront cost of a large scale photo-voltaic solar system is a sizable investment, and can at times deter clients with even optimal sites from system ownership. MainLine Solar has now developed a Solar Power Purchase Agreement for our clients to overcome the obstacle of upfront cost associated with a commercial PV solar system.

Client Benefits

Assume Zero Cost for Solar Installation

As a result of the financial incentives currently in place, MainLine Solar is willing to purchase and own the system that will operate at your site. For clients that choose to enter into an SPPA, the photo-voltaic system will be purchased and installed, start to finish, without any cost.

Predictability in Energy Rates

MainLine Solar clients that enter into an SPPA will have the option to lock into a low energy rate that will remain the same for the next 15-20 years. Especially after deregulation, rising energy rates can cause headaches for any business’s projected annual budget.

Marketability of Sustainable Decision

Sustainable green technology has been brought into the limelight in recent years by government agencies, environmental organizations, and business owners like you who have seen the benefits in this rapidly spreading technology. Making the decision to power your site with solar energy sends a powerful message to both your community and your associated client base: Your Company plans for long term success, cares about its impact on society, and uses cutting edge technology. Set your brand above the rest.

Zero emission, Reliable Energy Production at your Site

A photo-voltaic solar system has zero moving parts, can weather extreme climate conditions, and requires very limited maintenance. Letting a third party own your system removes all the stress of production tracking and maintenance check-ups; sit back, and enjoy spreading the word about your responsible decision to allow for clean alternative energy production at your facility.

SOLAR POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENT (SPPA) STRUCTURE

There are three main parties involved in structuring an SPPA. The Host allows for the system to be installed at its site, the solar services provider installs and monitors the system, and the third party investor provides the financial support in order to own the system and its future renewable energy credit (REC) production. The Host is then able to market its solar power production while the investor assumes both the risk and benefit of system ownership.
