How a Solar PPA Actually Works
Eligibility Check
We confirm your address, utility, and credit — soft pull only, zero impact to your score. We identify which PPA programs you qualify for and which offers the best rate.
System Design
Your system is designed around your home's actual usage and roof. The PPA provider sets your fixed per-kWh rate. We show you projected savings vs. your current utility bill.
Sign & Permit
You review and sign your PPA agreement digitally. The provider files permits. A hard credit pull occurs here — you'll be notified before it happens.
Install & Pay Less
Licensed crew installs your system. Once PTO is granted you start generating solar. Your utility bill drops — you pay the provider for what your system produces instead.

They Said $0 Down Was Real.
It Was.
"I was skeptical at first but the $0 down PPA was completely real. Install was done in three weeks and our first bill afterward was under $20. Wish I'd done this two years ago."
"No pressure, no gimmicks — just clear answers about what my bill would look like after solar. We're saving about $160 a month. Ed walked me through every step and the install was done in under 30 days."
"Ed Watts is incredibly knowledgeable and is the kind of professional who genuinely cares about doing what's right for his clients. You can tell he values integrity and long-term relationships over quick sales."
