In this video, Julian and Tyler explain why you should probably not do a PPA and just buy your system instead. PPA's are misrepresented and sold by people who oftentimes don't really know what they are selling.
Here's a breakdown of the math....
Let's say we are talking about an 8kw system in this example. If you were going to buy the system, market value would be around $25-29k depending on several factors. If you were to assume tax credit pay down on a 12 year term that I personally sell, assuming 27k sale price, payment would be around $183. 12 year at 4.99% interest rate.
$183 X 12 months X 12 years = $26,352 which includes the interest...
Even if you cannot take the tax credit at all because you don't have the tax liability, your payment over 12 years on the same loan would be $249 per month.
$249 X 12 months X 12 years = $35,856
Now if that same system were on a 25 year PPA term, even without an escalator rate, the math isn't even close. The way a PPA is priced is by the system's production, Let's say this system is produce 13,500kwh a year and your price per kWh is 13 cents which would be considered "giving away a deal" by the sales consultant. So, this is the very best case scenario and you'd be getting the best PPA deal ever. 13,500/ 12 months = approx 1,125kWh a month. at 13 cents per kWh, that's a $146 payment.... FOR 25 YEARS!
$146 X 12 months X 25 years = $43,800.

This panel can put out close to 100 watts ru-vid.comUgkxOqI2yqX0XVrhR2BMJciTWrHJpG8FhJyg when positioned in the appropriate southernly direction, tilted to the optimal angle for your latitude/date, and connected to a higher capacity device than a 500. The built in kickstand angle is a fixed at 50 degrees. Up to 20% more power can be output by selecting the actual date and latitude optimal angle.The 500 will only input 3.5A maximum at 18 volts for 63 watts. Some of the excess power from the panel can be fed into a USB battery bank, charged directly from the panel while also charging a 500. This will allow you to harvest as much as 63 + 15 = 78 watts.If this panel is used to charge a larger device, such as the power station, then its full output potential can be realized.

Bifacial panels are for ground mounts with a certain kind of tilt. Most panels are a few inches off a roof and bifacial modules would be a waste of money in that case

@frederikdeleon2941 Год назад

I’m not even in solar sales but I can definitely see these guys are just pushing there products. My neighbor actually purchased his panels and paid like 220 per month and literally right after he paid them off they STOPPED WORKING!!!! The company he bought them from said they are your panels your problem. I actually have sunrun ppa I pay 150$ my bill use to be 300$ “just like my neighbor” and 13 years later they still work they stopped producing sufficient power like 3 years ago and in one month they came out and replaced some damaged panels. They even covered the difference of the ppa price and the rest of my utility bill. So thanks but no thanks I’m happy with my ppa. I don’t want to spend 35k for a depreciating asset made of glass on my roof 👍🏼

@Superiorsolarconsulting Год назад

The panels just stopping working after the system is paid for it doesn’t make sense. It sounds like the centralized inverter was never connected correctly or failed prematurely which is very common. A PPA will cost you much more over the lifetime and gives you pretty much no flexibility to get out a it early

I installed a 35kw solar system with 15kw of battery storage for $25k myself. I got a local company to assist with the engineering plans I obtained a permit from the city. I had an electronics background knew nothing about roof mounting. I used the K2 rail system was impressed how well designed and low cost it was. I can add more batteries , and daisy chain more inverters if I want. I use EG4 inverters and LifeP04 batter server racks they sell very good product. Nothing wrong with Growatt, or Schneider electric. I'm close to cutting the cord with the utility possibly this year been a lifelong goal of mine to watch them remove that meter I'll put in a cover no longer be dependent on a monopoly.

@Superiorsolarconsulting 10 месяцев назад

You need about 50-70kWh of battery storage to pair with a solar array of that size. How are you getting away with almost no storage? That’s awesome overall though!

@Mike-01234 10 месяцев назад

@@Superiorsolarconsulting That's why I have to continue to use utility in the summer. Winter I can get away with lot less my KWH is much lower here in Phoenix. EG4-LL 30.72KWH rack is $10k would need 3 of them $30k in batteries to have 90kHW 100% off gird from signature solar. We are also looking at moving up to Show Low AZ. I will remove all the solar from the house install it up there on solar tracker that keep it aligned to the sun. Essentially all I will need is a well for water and I can live completely off grid self-sustaining on 37 acres. I can do whatever I want no city to bother me. My property would be miles from the main road. I have an electric powered ultralight called Aerolite EV-103 I'm building. I could fly it from the property land it at the airports or dirt roads. Small airports allow ultralights to land can borrow car from the FBO bring supplies back to my property. Always dreamed of having a home without being dependent on government. There are people here who have even bigger systems then I do heat their pool in the winter to 90F with 130k BTU heat pumps on solar.

Years ago i looked into sunrun and all the others companies. They charged an arm and a leg but still doesn’t adds up. Im in process of getting 32 panels for 37k minus 11k credit and another 1k credit, making the system cost like 25k. I choose finance over anything else. Since I finance for 10yrs my bills will be higher but still lower than my peak grid used. The system is warranty for 25yrs, so after 10yrs ill start seeing profits. Would be best if i got cash but since I don’t I gotta finance. Anyway, the system offset like 186% of my used, so hopefully the excess would send over to the grid and cover my usage during peak months.

@RobertoHernandez-uy3gs 2 года назад

Hi Julian, thanks for the great video. I'm a new solar energy consultant working through a third-party company contracted with SunRun. The company I'm working with here in South Florida is training reps on pushing PPAs while not really giving us info on selling the finance / purchase options and being a bit vague about it. They tell us it's because Florida is still very new to solar and PPA is a more attractive option for those looking to go solar due to seeing instant savings. The issue I'm running into is that customers here are paying around $0.14 per kwh on average with Florida Power & Light (utility company) meanwhile our PPAs are set at $0.125 with capped esc of 2.9% I'm at a crossroads right now where I'm wondering if I would even sign up for this PPA myself. Am I wrong to say that the current average cost per kwh is already low for this area and it wouldn't make sense to go PPA? They are telling me to tell customers that on average rates have increased 5-7% over the past 20 years but that's a lie. The selling model is to show them how much they will pay in 12 years at the halfway mark of their 25 year contract assuming utility rates go up 5% every year and how much they will pay on a PPA assuming rates go up 2.9% every year. I can see how some people in other states might benefit from a PPA although a purchase / finance would give them more savings, the PPA could work for those who pay a high utility bill to begin with and the solar company can provide them with a significantly lower rate than what the utility bill does. However, do you think it's worth it here in Florida with our low utility costs? Should I be asking them to train me on how to sell the finance / purchase option over the PPA at this point? It feels almost uncomfortable to sell this now that I can see that the value I'm offering might not be there.

@michellem1700 2 года назад

As someone just looking into buying a large system for my home and diving deep into this rabbit hole trying to understand purchase - almost feeling like I should sell solar so I can help others figure things out honestly - I would say, you should sell something you can stand behind - today I was given all three options by one company they were honest and upfront about which was the better deal -and it was my choice. For some people that cannot afford the purchase cash or through a loan, then those low interest loans or PPA may benefit and be only option but I appreciate knowing all the facts and then making an educated decision. Going back to you - see what the company says when you want to offer all the options, if not you may need to move to. company that better aligns with your values, in the end it will be better for you I believe.

@johnchan2655 Год назад

worst, they make you sign an agreement that you may not be aware making Sunrun being the Owner and not you being the Owner when you pay that lump sum up front. Paying up front may be fine for most situations when you don't have the cash or ability to obtain a low interest loan or loan out right. But you still left with a slight concern what if Sunrun goes bankrupt one of these days. when that happen, not only possible you are will not continue to receive the promise of warranty and guanratee, you have to wond will someone show up and going to come and rip the system off your roof top.

@tonysilva7993 Год назад

Hi Robert, I’m a sales rep for sunrun as well but in California. If your selling .14 a kwh, then it would be easier to pitch that then taking on a loan for 30-50k just to save 20-30 dollars a month on their bill..just wouldn’t make sense to take on that debt, in stead the PPA becomes a better option/ alternative to get their power at a cheaper rate, just like a cheaper gas station, cheaper grocery store etc etc. I’m in California where it’s at .38 a kWh, summer bills are $300-600+ in the summer and we’re selling at .15-.24 cents a kwh. Hope your still with us. Best of luck!

@footyfoster 10 месяцев назад

@@tonysilva7993 not to mention, batteries are essential in CA now - and batteries are the most expensive piece of equipment in solar. Sunrun's PPA gives you a 25-year warranty on ALL equipment, and you do not have to take on debt to reduce your electric costs. At the end of the day, these two dudes are still selling, and want to diminish Sunrun's credibility. Not very transparent, eh?

Julian, thank you so much for your videos. Your’s is the first channel I’ve found that really counters every point the solar sales guys feed you in a very understandable way. There I was minding my own business in Home Depot the other day when someone from Sunrun hijacked me in the lighting aisle. Gave the whole pitch, had another sales person come to my house, met with a second large solar company in the northeast for due diligence and was pretty much ready to pull the trigger. However, something didn’t feel right. It felt like there was no downside to what they were saying. Through talking with friends, realtors and getting real world perspective plus Googling around/finding your channel, I’ve been saved from a potential huge mistake signing up for a PPA. Now I’m thinking through purchasing my own system and learning lots from you. Thank you for this content!

@michaelmacias8778 2 года назад

I am a SunRun rep and I always tell my prospective clients the pros and cons of both because at the end of the day, I’m trying to help people save money and help the environment. Usually the ppa is a better alternative for people who don’t have the credit to qualify for a loan but still want to save some money vs sticking with the traditional electric company. If you have the means, buying your system cash is the most profitable way to go solar but most people don’t have that kind of money to invest and the ones that do are the ones that constantly tell me that they’re not interested in Solar because they can afford to pay $400+ on their electric bill. Anyways our panels are the 2nd most efficient on the market and if you’re thinking of buying, I guarantee you we can give you the best rate.

If you have the cash to afford the entire system, buy it - highest ROI and you claim the tax credit. If you are considering a loan, go for an unsubsidized loan so you can pay it off. If you're curious how it works with Sunrun via a lease, just ask them. I am sure they would be happy to tell you how it all works so you make an informed decision.

@markv2311 Год назад

Have a couple questions 1. I thought sunrun would pay you for any loss in production per year. So if I was told that I'd produce 15kwh a year and only produce less than that (if it is 10% less than that 15kwh) they would make up for it? So there would be a bigger incentive for them to come out and fix it? 2. When doing the math it looked like a 1.9% escalator is going to be cheaper over the time I decide to stay in the house. So I would think that over that same time a loan would be significantly more, right? 3. If you aren't getting 100% coverage is one better than the other?

@Superiorsolarconsulting Год назад

SunRun will technically pay you not the amount of your bills you had to pay while the system was down, but they will pay out the dollar amount for the power that was short. This means you are still left paying half the bill since SunRun isn’t concerning your costs. The PPA is always going to be much more expensive that buying with less flexibility. I also used the best possible PPA deal I’ve ever seen in this video so nobody would be able to say my numbers were Inflated. Coverage in terms of power production or warranty?

@jaredspieckerman2274 3 месяца назад

1. SunRun guarantees the system will produce 90% of your power for the entirety of the ppa. They will pay you the difference of the power that’s agreed upon. They do it in year to year, so if you agree to a ppa at 20,000kw a year and the system only produces 16000kw they will pay you for the 2000kw it didn’t produce. 2. The escalator does go up every year but it comes to almost 1 cent every year increase, which in 25 years will almost double your bill. But currently utility bills have doubled in 10 years and the rates are going up even more year after year. So if you pay 200 for your ppa a month now and in 25 years it’ll be 410 a month it seems like a lot but utility prices at the rate they’re increasing right now will be at nearly 900-1000 a month in 25 years. 3. Depends on the state. The ppa only makes sense in ca and Hawaii today bc both states have regulated net metering. No system will produce 100% of your utility for 25 years, the system will need maintenance. So if you buy a system you should also get warranty to stay efficient.

Thank you for all of your valuable info Julian. Not related to leasing panels, but I just got a quote down here in Florida for Solar. They offered me a 25 year loan to pay off the panels. I have a 2400 square foot ranch in sw florida. With a new roof, my quote was $92,000.00!! After further research and watching your videos, I realize they were trying to rob me. I then asked him how many KW he was providing, the answer is 14.43. The total cost of the solar without the roof was $72,000. This works out to over $5 per kilowatt.

So if I were to buy what panels/setup would you recommend that would end up close to that price? There will be 10 panels.

@burgermeister6199 11 месяцев назад

You must have 2 solar systems as Sunnova does not work with Sunrun. You should be able to buy the Sunrun system after a period of time depending on the state you are from. Your PPA is saving you a lot of money but you were not explained to properly. PPA is not bad because if you were on the normal utility you would be paying more trust me. Do not worry its not some evil scam the owners before you just couldn't or didn't want to buy the second solar system out right. Your Sunnova system was purchased if it is "payed off". The reason for having two systems is you always want to produce more power than you use with solar so that you will get paid from the utility for the extra energy. Then that will cover the energy you use at night from the utility because the sun is not out. So the previous owners likely bought their first system from a Sunnova solar dealer because Sunnova did not sell their own systems until very recently. They get other companies to install the system then Sunnova is responsible for financial things and customer service after. Sunrun is different they directly take care of their own customers and thei system. After a while your previous home owners ended up using more energy then they were supposed to or the first sales person did not build a large enough solar system for their energy needs. So your previous owners had Sunrun help them because they would have ended up getting another bill from the utility and no longer had $0.00 electric bills after the first system was payed off. So they put a second solar system up to replace the remaining utility bill with a much cheaper solar PPA. Not the most ideal situation but you are saving money.

But I coyldn't get past the fact I am installing solar and incurring a new power bill. The entire idea is to get OFF the grid. I will probably hire them to intall the system for the 21,000 cash price and just add my Zendure Powerbase V as a batter backup. Pay cash and walk away from them.

@burgermeister6199 11 месяцев назад

You still pay a bill if you buy solar you just either pay for the loan, full amount in cash after install or have the company come and install for free and pay slightly more. Its not a scam just an alternate option to buying solar. The idea of getting off the grid is not possible in most states. Getting all of your power from solar and having your solar system pay the difference of what you use from the Utility at night depends on your state, roof size, and electric usage.

Would some of this hold up in the high rate environment we are in today? I haven't went out to a bank to see what a loan would be, but helocs are around 5.5% right now. I got confronted by Sunrun at Costco and they presented a plan, a PPA I presume, where I'd pay $113/mo for 12 months, and if I keep the $10,000 credit from the government, it would go up to a $165/mo payment or so for 25 years. So that's roughly $40,000 of costs if you account for the credit. I think their rate is 2.99%, too. $33,000 loan amount. I'm very interested in your argument here, but I just don't see how the numbers add up where PPA is much worse. You were throwing around $100,000 costs and such, which probably would be the amount if you got a bank loan out. One thing I did notice was that my plan did say 1 solar edge inverter and Hanwha qcell panels, so there's the mediocre panels and the non microinverter you do warn about. I see that issue before me. I'm just trying to make a decision. Right now, with this plan, it seems I'd get $11,000 cash up front ($10k from the fed and $1k from costco) but, until I get a pool/increase my energy costs more, I'd lose $30/mo since my utility company charges $30+ "customer fee" every month regardless if all my electric needs are provided by the panels. Thanks for your video.

@Superiorsolarconsulting Год назад

If someone pitched you a deal where you were the one getting the tax credit, then you were actually purchasing the system and it was not a PPA. Just a financed deal. When you do a PPA there is no official interest-rate because you are technically agreeing to buy kilowatt hours for a certain price. If you extrapolate out 25 years of payments and the fact that getting out of it early requires a lump sum of all of the payments if buyers don’t want it transferred, you’re signing an extremely expensive and inflexible plan. Buying the system with a non fee or smaller fee with a higher rate allows for the exit to be much less expensive and allows for tons of home value and equity to built at the same time, helping the sellers leave with more money in their pocket. Even in the best case for the sellers doing a PPA, they will just be able to transfer the debt and no home value increase will occur. It’s really the same concept as buying versus renting your home. Do you want to build equity yourself or pay someone else for a service?

We went over the numbers and the financing and I swear to God, I was laughing at the sales rep by the time she was explaining all the numbers. Sunrun wanted $62,000 for a system that probably cost $12,000. This year in 2023, you can get a 30% rebate on your solar installation. But Sunrun legally steals your rebate. They raise the price of the solar installation 30%. So they walk away with your rebate and stick you with a lease contract for 24 years. You think the interest rate is OK, but no it’s not. Because they add another interest rate to the payment every year. The payment goes up 2.99% every year. After 10 years you’re paying 45% more. Let’s talk about their tesla battery. They want $18,000 for one Tesla battery. I own a Tesla three. The battery on that car is probably stores 3 to 4 times the electricity of their house battery. And it cost $16,000 with labor to replace my car battery. They are completely ripping off the public with their installation. And they’re lease payment that goes up 2.99% every year for 24 years. After 10 years, your solar panels will not be able to pay for the entire electricity bill. The cost of electricity will go up. Your solar panels will not be able to produce enough electricity. So you’ll end up with an electric bill and solar power bill that’s going up every single year 2.99%. Then there is selling your house. What sunrun does is they renegotiate the contract with a new buyer and they want even more money for the panels than seller paid. They don’t care if you sell the house as long as they get paid. One woman paid $60,000 to have the sunrun install Solar panels. When she went to sell the house, the new buyer was told they need to pay $70,000 for the system. She had seven offers on the house. Everyone was rejected after the solar was disclosed. Stay away from the Sunrun solar

@LifeIsGoodThankYouGod Год назад

what do thinking about solar guaranteed year production ? is this also a scams ?

@Augie12 Год назад

With a PPA you actually get a production guarantee unlike owning a system you're responsible if for some reason you aren't producing enough for your home and getting a true up bill.

@Superiorsolarconsulting 6 месяцев назад

It’s usually only 90% of the stated figure so they buffer against production loss before you’ll ever start to get a refund
