We model solar and storage bill savings in any market to enable anyone to understand the potential value that solar could provide for any building regardless of local policies that may allow or disallow 3rd-party ownership and financing.
We model solar and storage bill savings in any market, regardless of local policies that allow or disallow 3rd-party ownership and financing. We do this intentionally to enable anyone to understand the potential value that solar could provide for any building. In this sense, the modeled bill savings and PPA calculation is intended to provide a baseline or benchmark savings potential that can be used to more easily compare the value of solar on a relative basis.
If a particular region does not allow 3rd-party ownership and Station A shows positive bill savings (based on a PPA) value, we are indicating that solar could be economically viable in this territory, given the electricity bill, solar system output, bill costs, and some reasonable return for the owner of the system. If this is the case, the building owner or tenant should pursue whatever options for solar are available in their territory, or the utility should consider offering solar to this customer.
