Building owners can lock in electricity costs now with no money down
When every dollar matters, finding a way to control electricity costs can have a positive impact on building owners’ bottom lines. Through the Connecticut Green Bank’s Solar PPA, they can go solar and receive immediate electricity savings. A power purchase agreement, or PPA, enables commercial buildings to have a solar PV system installed and purchase the electricity it generates – often at a significant discount to grid power – with no money down and no stress, as the Green Bank oversees the development and management of the system.

What is a Solar PPA?

Key features for building owners:
- Have no upfront installation costs and no new debt
- Can reduce their bill by locking in low electricity costs
- Create positive cash flow in year one
- Have peace of mind, because the Green Bank owns the system and is responsible for performance and maintenance
