PPA or own your solar installation?

PPA: no investment — Sunsurf Solar builds, owns and finances the installation. Ownership: the customer funds the full installation upfront, typically several million SEK for a 100+ kWp system.

PPA: the customer pays only for the electricity consumed at a fixed per-kWh price for the contract term. Ownership: after the initial investment the ongoing cost is mainly maintenance, insurance and inverter replacements; the electricity is effectively "free" once payback is complete.

PPA: Sunsurf Solar is responsible for monitoring, maintenance, insurance and any repairs throughout the contract term. Ownership: the customer carries full responsibility — in-house personnel or a purchased service contract.

PPA: 10–25 years, tailored to the customer's operations. Ownership: no contract term — the customer owns the installation for as long as they want. Panel warranty is typically 25 years; the mounting system has a 40-year technical service life.

PPA: at the end of the contract the customer can take over the installation, extend the contract, or let Sunsurf Solar dismantle and recycle the system. Ownership: the installation remains owned, sold or dismantled by the owner.

PPA: electricity purchased through a PPA is typically booked as an operating expense. Ownership: the installation is an investment that is depreciated over time and may have other tax implications. Sunsurf Solar is not a tax advisor — please speak to your accountant for an assessment based on your specific business.

PPA: a fixed per-kWh price gives predictability but locks the customer into the contracted rate. Ownership: the customer has full control over sizing, future expansion and the sale of any surplus electricity.

PPA: Sunsurf Solar produces the electricity, the customer buys it at the agreed price and consumes it directly on site. Ownership: the customer owns every kilowatt-hour produced and is free to use or sell it.
