Document background
The Residential Solar Power Purchase Agreement is designed for use in the Canadian market where homeowners wish to benefit from solar power generation without the upfront costs of system purchase and installation. This agreement is particularly relevant in provinces with established net metering programs and renewable energy incentives. The document structures a long-term relationship between solar providers and homeowners, typically spanning 15-25 years, during which the provider owns and maintains the solar installation while selling the generated power to the homeowner at predetermined rates. It addresses critical aspects including installation requirements, performance guarantees, maintenance obligations, and end-of-term options, while ensuring compliance with both federal and provincial regulations. The agreement is essential for solar providers expanding their residential offerings and homeowners seeking to adopt clean energy solutions through a power purchase arrangement rather than direct system ownership.
