VRGN PPA
The Most Popular Way Pittsburgh Goes Solar
A Power Purchase Agreement puts real solar on your roof for $0 upfront. You don't buy the panels, you buy the power they make, at a rate that's set ahead of time.
What Is A Power Purchase Agreement?
A Power Purchase Agreement — or PPA — is a subscription-style way to go solar. The solar system is third-party owned by the PPA provider, who handles installation, monitoring, maintenance, and repairs for the life of the agreement.
You pay only for the electricity the panels actually produce, at a rate that’s set ahead of time. It’s a popular choice because it removes the upfront cost of solar and shifts the equipment, the warranties, and the maintenance burden onto the provider — not the homeowner.
You Pay For Power — At A Lower Rate
Utility rates climb every year and the next increase is anyone’s guess. A PPA rate is set ahead of time and stays predictable.
Utility (all-in rate)
~16–23¢
per kWh, climbing
Solar PPA (typical range)
~12–17¢
per kWh, set ahead of time
Actual PPA rate depends on the home, roof, and utility territory.

Your PPA Goes With The House
If you sell your home before the 25-year term is up, the PPA transfers to the new owner alongside the property — the same way the electric service does. Most buyers see a working solar system with a locked-in rate as a feature, not a hurdle. We’ll walk through transfer options during your solar review.
