Solar Power Purchase Agreements in Colorado

A Fixed-Rate, $0-Down Option

At Solar Power Pros, we’re always looking for ways to make solar more accessible, affordable, and hassle-free for Colorado homeowners. That’s why we offer a solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) through Palmetto LightReach–a simple way to go solar with no upfront cost and minimal responsibility.

 

With this program, you pay for the energy your system produces at a predictable rate, with the option for 0% escalation–meaning your solar rate won’t increase over time. It’s a straightforward, low-risk way to switch to solar without the burden of ownership or long-term maintenance.

What is a Solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)?

A solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) allows you to install solar on your home with no upfront investment. Instead of purchasing the system, Palmetto owns and maintains it, and you simply pay for the electricity it produces, often at a lower rate than your utility.

 

You get the benefits of solar, without the burden of ownership.

Fixed Solar Pricing–No Annual Rate Increases

One of the most common concerns with solar financing is how pricing changes over time. Many solar PPAs include an annual escalator–typically around 2-3%–which increases your rate each year.

 

With our 0% escalator rate option, your solar rate stays the same for the life of the agreement. No annual increases, no compounding costs, and no surprises down the road.

 

This fixed-rate structure makes it easier to plan your energy costs over time, especially as utility rates continue to rise. Instead of trying to predict future increases, you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for solar from day one. A fixed solar rate offers stability that many homeowners find valuable.

  • Lower upfront commitment
  • Reduced risk

Colorado PPA FAQ's

What is the difference between a PPA and a solar loan?

With a loan, you own the system and are responsible for maintenance. With this PPA, Palmetto owns the system, and you simply pay for the power it produces.

Yes—PPAs are designed to offer immediate savings compared to your current utility rates.

The agreement is fully transferable to the new homeowner, making the transition seamless.

Not necessarily. Unlike typical PPAs which include a 2-3% escalator rate, the PPA we offer has a 0% escalator rate option, meaning your rate remains the same through the life of your agreement.
