Non-Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) Options for Financing Solar Deployment at Universities

Jenny Heeter, Shivani Mathur

Research output: NRELBrochure

Abstract

Financing solar using power purchase agreements (PPAs) has facilitated solar deployment of more than 100 megawatts (MW) at universities--as compared to 50 MW facilitated by financing models not using PPAs. This brochure, which overviews existing financing models and funding mechanisms available for solar procurement, focuses on non-PPA financing models. For more information on solar deployment at universities using PPAs, refer to Using Power Purchase Agreements for Solar Deployment at Universities.
