Solar PPA Warning

Many homeowners think they are “going solar.”

What they may actually be doing is signing a 20–25 year power contract that gives another company long-term rights tied to equipment attached to their home and roof.

With some PPAs, homeowners may enter long-term agreements connected to investment groups or financing entities that are not local and may even involve international ownership or capital.

Your home. But someone else owns the solar asset attached to your property as well as the rights to that asset. And those groups can be international.

Yes people from other countries CAN own rights to your roof through PPAs.

Here’s what many PPAs DON’T advertise loudly enough:

You will still have a utility bill

You will ALSO have a SECOND UTILITY BILL charging you by the kWh or some other form.

Annual escalators on PPAs WILL increase your payment year after year

You often do NOT receive the 30% federal tax credit

Another company owns the equipment attached to your roof and the rights to your property and that equipment

Selling your home can become more complicated if buyers don’t want to assume the agreement

Buyout terms years later can become expensive and difficult

After decades of payments, you will still not own the system and your rights to parts of your home remain forfeited

At Jackson Solar, we believe homeowners deserve a better option:

$0-down ownership financing available

Fixed payments available

No escalating power contract

YOU own the system attached to your home

YOUR home builds equity

YOUR system has equity

The power is always yours

There’s a massive difference between owning solar and renting electricity for 25 years.
