What's one of the biggest obstacles to going solar? High upfront costs. However, power purchase agreements are rising in popularity, and they help put an end to that initial sticker shock. They work when a company such as Sun Run in Silicon Valley supplies, owns, and maintains your solar panels. In exchange, you will pay for the electricity the panels generate, usually at a lower cost than what the utilities charge. Utilities, though, are getting in on power purchase agreements, too, installing panels at minimum or no cost. Using this model, you will not own your own panels, but you'll get all the benefits of solar electricity, without worrying about maintenance or disposal. Something to consider.
