The purchase price of the generated electricity is lower than what you would otherwise pay to an energy retailer; and the rates can be fixed according to the contract.

How a Solar PPA works
Volatility in energy prices creates operational uncertainties. Through a Solar Power Purchase Agreement (Solar PPA) a third party covers the cost of installing the Solar System at a business’s location and sells the energy generated from the system to the business at a lower rate than their retailer. At the end of the agreement (usually 7 to 11 years) the ownership of the system along with the full benefits of free energy passes to the business. A Solar PPA enables a business to reduce running costs without having to increase the investment costs. A Solar PPA also shifts the operational risk of under-performance or product failures to the Solar PPA provider in the event of issues.
