Is $148 to install a solar power purchase agreement (PPA) a fair price?

Project Details

I am currently on a budget billing plan with Georgia Power, and my current bill is $287 a month, which has significantly increased from $226 monthly over the last year and a half. My roof is fully exposed to the sun all day with no trees. I've used an online calculator and even at the 25-year mark, the PPA monthly payment would still be cheaper than my current budget billing. I am not currently in a position to buy solar outright. I am wary because it seems too good to be true and was offered by a door knocker. I have no plans on selling the house. The PPA would be about $150 a month, which is nearly half of my current power payment.
