How to Read Your Results

Four numbers worth paying attention to.

1

Total remaining cost

Everything you are scheduled to pay from today until the agreement ends.

2

Final monthly payment

What your payment grows to in the last year once the escalator has compounded.

3

Cost of the escalator

How much extra the yearly increases add compared with a flat payment.

4

Solar vs. utility

Whether your agreement is likely to cost more or less than paying the utility.

About These Estimates

This calculator uses the numbers you enter and assumes your payment rises by the same percentage once a year. Real agreements may calculate increases differently, include fees, or change with production for PPAs. Utility rates rarely rise at a steady pace.

For an exact answer, send your agreement for a free review or call (520) 686-7921. We will read the actual escalator, buyout, and termination terms in your contract.
