Solar Energy System Alternatives
There are many solar energy system alternatives. Leasing a solar power system is an option to adopting solar energy. However, customers with leases must operate, maintain, clean and manage the system themselves—and connect it to the grid. In addition, leasing costs are fixed; you’ll pay the same monthly fee no matter what amount of energy your leased system generates. Purchasing a solar facility has all the same drawbacks as leasing, and the customer must find the capital to purchase the system. With a Tioga Energy SurePath™™ Solar PPA you pay only for the energy our system generates, and, in addition to all installation and set-up, we manage the system’s maintenance and upkeep.
Solar panels are up to 80 percent less effective if not properly maintained and cleaned; a little cleaning solves a lot of performance problems.
