Locked In Lower Power Rates

The easiest entry into renewable resources and to achieve lower power rates in Las Vegas is through a power purchase agreement, or PPA. At it’s core this is a way to break free from the ever-rising costs of energy through the public utility company. This contract allows for you to have a solar array that meets your energy needs at a $0 cost to you. Instead of taking out a loan to finance the array, our team will install, maintain, and manage it, then provide you power at a cost significantly less than the rates Las Vegas residents receive from the public utility provider, NV Energy.

That is an overview of how a power purchase agreement works. To further explain the details of how Get Solar provides energy independence to your home we have provided additional information here. If you have more questions, our representatives are available to assist, educate, and schedule your installation. Speak to a representative now.

Solar Panel Purchase & Installation

Get Solar puts up all the costs. We pay for the solar panel array, the installation the the array and all of the associated fees and permits to have it properly installed and inspected. While some companies charge a flat fee to cover some of these costs, we don’t. Compared to purchasing a system outright or financing the purchase of one, this allows for the biggest savings for homeowners. Unlike our competitors this doesn’t mean we charge you more, it means we make less by making you happy.

Green Energy Generation

Your renewable energy source generates electricity for all your needs through conversion of sunlight through the panels and a converter connected to your electrical panel. When the sun is shining it is pulled directly into your home. Excess energy is pushed into the NV Energy grid creating a bank of energy. After the sun goes down, or on those rare rainy days we have here in Las Vegas, that excess energy is pulled from that bank. This means that you are using the green, renewable energy you produced at any time of the day, or night. In the rare instance that you should use more energy than the array produces, and has banked, NV Energy seamlessly continues to provide you with energy without fail.

Maintenance, Monitoring & Repairs

The homeowner is not responsible for maintaining the solar array on their property. They also are not liable for any repairs, replacements, or parts needed for the system to perform optimally or efficiently. All of the solar array system’s parts, service, and function fall under the Get Solar umbrella of service. This has truly set us apart from our competitors and allowed us to be the premier power purchase agreement provider in the Las Vegas valley. We take care of everything.

Billing & Payment

One of the biggest questions regarding activating a power purchase agreement is the billing and payments. Each homeowner will continue to receive monthly power bill, the differences are that it will come from us and be at a lower power rate per kWh. This rate will be one that you have agreed-upon. It may increase over time, but rather than being surprised with regular rate increases you can count on a lower, fixed rate and slower, incremental increases.

The Agreement Terms

The homeowner and the energy provider agree on the terms of the PPA, including the duration of the agreement, the price per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity generated, and any other relevant terms and conditions. The per kWh cost is a lower power rate than public utilities. These fixed terms are most common for 20 years, but other terms may be arranged based on your specific case and needs. Our ability to arrange flexible terms has made us a leader in PPA for Las Vegas.

Do I Still Need An NV Energy Account

Yes. With any renewable energy, solar or wind power, your home must still be connected to the NV Energy grid. In the rare instance that you have a truly off-the-grid situation you will need to have an extensive generator setup to ensure that excess energy remains available to you, and that propane fills the gaps of your energy needs.

Overall, a Power Purchase Agreement provides homeowners with a cost-effective way to access renewable energy, lower power rates, and be less dependent on public utilities without the need for a large upfront investment, or incurred liability in solar panels or other renewable energy systems. It allows homeowners to save money on their electricity bills immediately, feel good about using clean energy, and reduce their carbon footprint all at the same time.
