Access the energy. Consider the structure.
Under an on-site solar PPA, a provider owns the system and the customer purchases its electricity under an agreed contract. Funding, pricing, maintenance and end-of-term arrangements are defined in that agreement.
Agree the responsibilities
The proposal should make ownership, access, installation, operation, maintenance and insurance responsibilities clear.
Understand the full term
Consider electricity pricing, escalation, performance terms, early exit and what happens to the system when the agreement ends.

A few things you may be wondering.
Is a PPA the same as buying solar panels?
No. In an on-site PPA, the provider typically owns the system and you buy its electricity under a contract. Direct ownership places the asset and its associated responsibilities with the purchaser.
Does a PPA always mean no upfront cost?
Costs and obligations depend on the project and contract. A proposal should explicitly identify any upfront works, site upgrades, fees and ongoing commitments rather than assuming every project has the same structure.
What happens at the end of the agreement?
Options such as renewal, transfer or removal must be set out in the contract. End-of-term obligations and early exit provisions should be understood before signing.
