Is $59,700 to 25-year solar power purchase agreement (PPA) a fair price?
Project Details
I live in a brand new construction house in MA. I started looking into solar after my first electric bill came in at just under $300. Financially, I don't have the option to buy the system outright in cash. I have only heard negative things about PPAs, but I'm wondering if this specific offer is a good deal.
