This document provides information about solar power costs and options for financing a solar power system. It discusses the pros and cons of a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) versus owning a solar system. Under a PPA, the developer handles installation and maintenance of the system in exchange for selling the generated electricity to the customer at a lower rate than the utility for 25 years. Owning the system requires an upfront cost but makes the homeowner eligible for tax credits and allows them to build equity over time. The document also lists sample rates and fees for electricity as well as pros and cons of different financing options for system ownership.
