4. WHAT IS A SOLAR POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENT ?
The lower electricity price serves to offset the purchase of grid electricity.
Customer typically receives 2 bills
SPPA is a managed agreement where Juice Capital carries out the design, network approvals, procurement, installation and provides the funding for a solar system on a commercial roof top or for a Ground Mount Solar Farm, at no cost to the customer
Juice Capital then sells the solar power generated to the business at a fixed rate
The fixed rate is lower than the local utility’s grid supplied retail rate
SPPAs typically range from 7 to 25 years
Longer the term the lower the price
Juice Capital assumes the risk of ownership and receives the income from the SPPA
Juice Capital remains responsible for the operation and maintenance of the system for the duration of the agreement and has the right to upgrade the systems with batteries and other technological advancements during the term of the PPA

5. Refresh… Why & How PUREST FORM OF OPERATING LEASE – OFF BALANCE SHEET
NO UPFRONT CAPITAL COSTS:
Together, Juice Capital and you as the developer handle the upfront of sizing, procuring and installing the solar PV system. Without any upfront investment, customers are able to adopt solar and begin saving money as soon as the system becomes operational.
REDUCED ENERGY COSTS:
Solar PPAs provide a fixed, predictable cost of electricity for the duration of the agreement and are structured so that clients save money. They are often viewed as a genuine hedge against rising electricity prices.
ACCOUNTING AND TAX :
Juice Capital owns the solar system and it does not appear on the client’s balance sheet. Clients may claim tax deductions for all electricity purchased as one would for grid electricity, but may not claim deductions for depreciation of the asset.

20. FAQ’s

21. FAQS How is the regular energy bill affected?
Typically the client will continue to purchase energy from the retail or wholesale market. The PPA product will allow a portion of their spend on power to be locked in at a price for the power produced from the Solar system.
Is a deposit necessary ?
PPAs are CapEX free as a managed service and are designed with $0 upfront.
Will the solar system produce all the power required?
Typically not but depends on demand profiles and available roof space at each site. Each customer will be required to maintain a relationship with an energy provider, unless of course there is no retailer in your area and you are planning to go entirely off grid.
What happens to unused energy that the system produces ? 
This will be negligible if the system is sized correctly for the business. Solar is perfect for businesses that are occupied during the day as power is produced. Any excess energy may be fed back into the grid and feed in credits will be worked in to the economics.

22. FAQS What if I sell my business or the property ?
There are several options available if your customers needs to move or sell. Our PPA can be novated to a new party and we assist with this process. Buying the system is an option and would be negotiated at the time.
Is it possible to dissolve the PPA contract if circumstances change?
To exit the PPA, a customer would either:
Exercise their buyout as per the terms and conditions
Assist Juice Capital to novate the agreement to a new party if applicable

23. FAQS
How do PPAs differ?
PPAs are most similar to a traditional energy bill as opposed to financing. The key difference being a PPA bills for kilowatt-hours generated rather than a fixed monthly payment.
Can tenants participate?
Yes. Landlords consent is required, and PPAs can be structured based on remaining lease terms + lease options. Since PPAs save money from the outset, it makes financial sense to install a solar system even for tenants.
Who operates and maintains the system? 
Juice Capital will own and maintain the system. This includes all operational and maintenance costs as well as inverter swaps. It is wholly in our interests to ensure the system is operating as intended to generate revenues. You as the project developer/installer would be approached first for maintenance/warranty/operational issues which adds value by maintaining the customer relationship.

24. FAQS
What about Juice Capital? What happens if their business changes and how would this affect maintenance & support?
Juice Capital are part owned by the largest wholesaler and importer of solar equipment in Australia. They are financially very strong and in the industry for the long haul.
With ‘Non Utility’ based PPAs, interests are perfectly aligned. If the system is not operational, the PPA provider generates no return. There is a strong incentive for all assets to be functioning as intended.
There is no circumstance conceivable where either Juice Capital or an underwriter/ funding partner would not be in a hurry to ensure the system is running optimally.
