Use the free estimator for a preliminary layout, or share your preferred response method with the commercial team. Final feasibility still requires site, utility, and engineering review.
A third-party provider owns, installs, and operates the solar system. The customer purchases the electricity it produces at the starting price, escalator, and term stated in the contract.
Compare the starting PPA price, annual escalator, expected production, contract term, buyout schedule, performance guarantee, and transfer provisions against the customer’s tariff-specific avoided energy value. For ownership, compare upfront or financed cost, O&M, tax benefits the owner can actually use, and residual system value. NuWatt’s comparator requires the quoted PPA and financing terms instead of assuming market rates.
Metered solar production × contracted PPA price
Use a written quote for the amount, rate, fees, and schedule.
Organizations prioritizing limited upfront capital
Customers that cannot efficiently use ownership tax benefits
Teams that prefer third-party system operations and maintenance
Projects with a reviewed long-term site-control plan
Can reduce upfront capital requirements
Payment follows metered solar production
Provider generally owns performance and maintenance obligations stated in the contract
Can give budget visibility when the rate and escalator are clear
Customer does not claim ownership tax credits or depreciation
Long-term pricing depends on the starting rate and escalator
Assignment, buyout, removal, and early-termination terms require careful review
A property sale, refinancing, or lease change may require provider consent or transfer work
Set by the proposal upfront
A third party owns the system and the customer makes the scheduled lease payments stated in the contract. Unlike a PPA, the payment is not normally calculated from each month’s metered solar production.
Program- and quote-specific upfront
C-PACE can finance eligible improvements through a voluntary property assessment under a state and local program. Availability, eligible costs, term, assessment structure, lender consent, and transfer rules vary by address and capital-provider quote.
Set by the lender quote upfront
A bank, credit-union, SBA-supported, equipment, or specialty-energy loan can fund customer ownership. The meaningful comparison uses the lender’s actual principal, APR, fees, down payment, amortization, term, collateral, and prepayment terms.
