The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has drafted example contracts for a variety of PPA arrangements for use in creating or vetting new PPA programs. DOE has a draft RFP for use in requesting applications to create either a PPA or a lease for financing a solar installation. Select each financing option to dive deeper and learn more.
Third-party financing is a well-established financing solution in the United States, having emerged in the solar industry as one of the most popular methods of solar financing. Third-party solar financing predominantly occurs in two forms: solar leases and power purchase agreements (PPAs).
In the PPA model, the solar 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. Below are resources to help you understand third-party ownership financing structures as a means to facilitate your solar project development.
Financing Structure and Debt Sizing – Debt Financing Structure: Solar PV projects often utilize project finance structures involving a syndicate of lenders. Model debt terms including senior and subordinated tranches, interest rates (fixed vs. floating), tenors, debt sculpting, interest rate hedging mechanisms, and grace periods.
