Power Purchase Agreements

Offset energy costs without capital investment

For businesses or individuals with high energy usage, Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) offer immediate energy savings without a capital investment.

Site owners buy power directly from the system installed on their property at a low rate and significantly reduce the amount of power purchased from the grid.

  • No upfront costs for property owners
  • Begin saving as soon as the system is operational
  • Pay a significantly reduced energy rate
  • Ensure predictable, agreed-upon escalation rates (typically 1-2%)

PPA Cost Savings Case Study

Huff Energy worked with a local California business to dramatically reduce their energy costs through PPA-financed solar.

Problem: High energy costs
The business’ previous utility rate was $0.29 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), resulting in high annual energy expenditure.
Solution: Work with Huff Energy to finance solar with a PPA
Huff Energy worked with the business to install a 2.5 megawatt (MW) 
ground-mount solar energy system financed by a PPA, with zero upfront expenditure — securing the company an energy rate of $0.072 per kWh.
Result: 75.2% energy savings
The business’ energy rate is now just 24.8% of their rate before installing solar with PPA financing, saving thousands in overhead annually.

Solar Leaseback

Transmission line

Own your system and sell its energy

Businesses and individuals without high energy usage may get the most benefit from solar leaseback deals, which allow site owners to sell power produced by on-site solar back to the grid for a profit.

Property owners retain control over their land and lease solar panels to the local utility company. The utility pays for the generated energy at a predetermined rate.

  • Generate positive cash flow by selling on-site energy
  • Get a better return on unused or underutilized land
  • Monetize abundant rooftop space
  • Secure strong financing terms with federal tax credits

Solar Leaseback Case Study

Huff Energy worked with a local California property owner to turn
underutilized land into a solar energy system that generates thousands
of dollars every month.

Problem: Underutilized agricultural land
The site owner struggled to see returns on an acre of poorly producing agricultural land. Because the site uses relatively little electricity, a feed-in tariff project financed by a solar leaseback enables the owner to sell excess energy back to the grid.
Solution: Install solar with Huff Energy
Huff Energy designed and installed a 599.4 kilowatt (kW) ground-mounted system. The project was financed through F&M Bank, which leveraged federal tax credits to structure a highly competitive interest rate on the solar lease. The site owner’s only capital investment was a 1% development fee on the pre-tax credit system cost.
Result: More than $21,000 per acre in yearly profit
By entering an agreement to sell the system’s energy to the utility company Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), the landowner was able to make the acreage profitable once more.

Self-financing

Reduce your tax burden at the best rate
of return

For businesses or individuals with capital looking to reduce energy costs and generate long-term revenue streams, self-financing provides a better rate of return than financing with a lender.

  • Generate cash flow without debt service
  • Pay nothing for power once the system is paid off
  • Reduce capital costs with federal tax credits

Self-Financing Case Study

Huff Energy worked with a local California property owner to install a rooftop solar array that qualifies for federal tax credits.

Problem: High tax burden
The business' trusted CPA advised it to offload their high tax burden. Because 
of federal tax credits, installing solar energy is a great way for a company with
a high tax appetite to reduce their monthly energy bill.
Solution: Install solar with Huff Energy
Huff Energy designed and installed a 57 kilowatt (kW) rooftop solar system.
The site owner paid for the full installation and took advantage of the federal
tax credits.
Result: Lower energy bill and tax burden
With the new system, the company generates more than 8,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) on average each month and effectively reduces their monthly energy bill and high tax burden.
