Power Purchase Kasunduan daan sa iyo upang Go Solar walang Paggasta ng Pera

Aming kapanayamin Dustin mula sa Poton Enerhiya Serbisyo sa 2009 Intersolar pagpupulong. poton Enerhiya Serbisyo ay itinatag sa 2006 sa mga layunin ng nagpapahintulot sa mga tao upang makinabang mula sa solar kapangyarihan sa paggastos na walang upfront ang pera para sa pag-install. Ang kumpanya ay naka-focus lalo na sa mga komersyal, institutional at pamahalaan sektor. kasalukuyang Sila ay nagtatrabaho sa isang proyekto para sa diyosesis ng San Jose. Sa proyektong ito, Poton nagdala sa pag-install ng isang team pati na rin ang namumuhunan sa magbayad para sa mga kagamitan, at sa ilalim ng isang pang-matagalang kontrata PPA, the Diocese will pay for the energy produced by the solar equipment.  A PPA plan is a power purchase agreement where a company or investor pays the upfront costs of a solar power project in exchange for a contract requiring the customer to buy the resulting electricity.  Dustin said that they believe that the Diocese will save a significant amount of money over the life of the PPA contract.

Photon also works to make solar easier on their customers.  Customers do not need to be experts in solar.  Photon and its partners, Perpetual Energy and NBL Energy, will take a look at how and when you use electricity and how much electricity in your area costs at various time of day to give you an idea as to how much you would save if you switched over to solar.  Photon always tries to structure the cost so that the amount of your solar bill plus the remaining grid bill is less than what you would pay to your current utility company.

Photon is currently targeting the public school districts because they are experiencing a lot of pressure to go green, but they don't have a lot of capital.  In addition, since school districts are not tax payers, they cannot take advantage of tax incentives, which are currently mostly in the form of tax credits.  Two federal programs, ITC (Investment Tax Credit) and MAKERS, are examples of programs that school districts cannot take advantage of directly, but that they would be able to take advantage of indirectly through Photon's PPA program.

Another option for school districts is to use a bond to prepay their electricity under a PPA.  If they do this they can eliminate the electric bills that they have prepaid from their operating budgets and hence free up some money for other necessities, such as to pay teachers.
