Third-party financing is a well-established financing solution in the United States, having emerged in the energy industry as one of the most popular methods of solar financing. Third-party finance financing predominantly occurs in two forms: leases and power purchase agreements (PPAs). In the lease model, a customer signs a contract with an installer/developer and pays for the use of a energy system over a specified period of time, rather than paying for the power generated. In the PPA model, the energy system offsets the customer’s electric utility bill, and the developer sells the power generated to the customer at a fixed rate, typically lower than the local utility.
