A CFO’s Solar Decision Framework

Five Questions That Decide Whether a PPA Will Work

  • 1 Do we have stable daytime load?
  • 2 Is roof space usable and contractable?
  • 3 Is our lease stable—or do we have a churn plan?
  • 4 Is the PPA tariff truly below our effective grid cost?
  • 5 Is the developer credible with bankable SLAs?

If the answer is “yes” to these, a no-CAPEX PPA converts solar from a “project” into a smart “procurement decision.”
