US Light Energy

 Founded in 2009, US Light Energy (USLE) designs, installs, and operates a large portfolio of high performance solar arrays throughout the North Eastern United States. Targeted at the commercial client, USLE installs its solar arrays without any capital requirement from the client. Instead, USLE sells the electricity produced by the solar array to the clients utilizing a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). 

     A PPA is a financial arrangement in which USLE owns, operates, and maintains the photovoltaic (PV) system, and the client agrees to site the system on their roof (Roof Mount) or elsewhere on their property (Ground Mount), and purchases the solar array's electric output fromUSLE. The PPA allows the client to receive high quality, clean, electricity for a contracted period of time. Typically, the electricity delivered by the solar array is less expensive than the electricity purchased from the client's local utility and is fixed during the duration of the PPA,; which removes the pricing fluctuations commonly seen from utilities.

• No upfront capital cost
