If you’ve looked into going solar, chances are you’ve heard the term “PPA” thrown around. But what does it actually mean? And is it really possible to go solar for zero dollars upfront? The short answer? Yes. And here’s how.
Let’s break down — clearly and simply.
What Is a PPA?
PPA stands for Power Purchase Agreement. It’s a solar plan that allows homeowners to go solar without paying for the solar panels themselves.
Instead of buying the system, you buy the energy the system produces — at a locked-in, lower rate than your current utility.
It’s like replacing your electric bill… but with predictable savings and no surprise fees.
How the $0 Upfront Really Works
Here’s what you don’t have to pay for with a PPA from Sunrun:
🚫 No equipment cost
🚫 No installation fee
🚫 No maintenance charges
🚫 No insurance costs
Sunrun owns and maintains the system. You simply pay a flat monthly rate for the solar power your roof generates — often 20–60% less than your current electric bill.
And yes, that means no loan, no credit risk, and no liens on your home.D
What’s Included in a PPA Plan?
When you sign up with Susan Hue Nguyen and Sunrun, you’re getting more than just panels.
Every PPA plan includes:
✅ Solar system design + installation
✅ SPAN smart panel upgrade (control your home’s energy from your phone)
✅ Optional Tesla Powerwall battery (store backup energy)
✅ Free Vivint Smart Home bundle (limited time)
✅ 25-year monitoring, performance guarantee, and roof leak protection
✅ Transferable contract if you move
Flat Rates = Long-Term Protection
One of the biggest benefits of a PPA is rate stability. While utilities like SCE increase prices every year (especially during peak hours), Sunrun’s PPA keeps your rate locked in.
That means:
No surprise spikes from 4–9 PM
No tiered pricing
Just one flat monthly cost — based on your actual usage needs
Is a PPA Right for You?
If you…
Own your home
Have an average energy bill over $80/month
Want to go solar without the upfront cost or long-term maintenance
…then a PPA is likely a great fit.
