What is a PPA?
PPA stands for "Power Purchase Agreement." In a PPA, the building owner or "host" agrees to have SunStream USA install a solar electric producing system at their property, and the host will purchase the power from SunStream.
What are the advantages to a PPA?
The host, by buying power from SunStream, will not only be buying "green power" and thereby helping to preserve the environment, but the host will also save an enormous amount of money on their power costs by buying power from SunStream.
How do I save money with a PPA?
SunStream will start by charging you exactly what you currently pay for electricity in year one of the PPA. Every year after that, the rate will only increase by 2% annually. LIPA's rates increase at an average of 5% annually.
How much money can I save?
Depending on the system size, you can save hundreds of thousands of dollars over the lifetime of a PPA.
