What Is the Enfin Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)?
Solar adoption across Santa Clara, San Mateo, and Alameda counties continues to rise, but the biggest hurdle for many homeowners is the upfront price. The Enfin Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) by Axia solves this by letting you go solar with zero out-of-pocket investment.
With a PPA, Axia owns, installs, and maintains the system. You simply pay for the power it produces at a predictable rate that is usually lower than your current utility bill. It’s a simple way to make the switch without the high initial cost of ownership.
How the Enfin PPA Works
No Ownership, No Maintenance, No Hassle
Homeowners pay only for the electricity the solar panels generate. Everything else is handled for you:
- System design and layout
- Permitting and project management
- Professional solar installation
- Monitoring and maintenance for the full term
- Zero upfront cost
Axia manages the system entirely. If something breaks or underperforms, they repair it. You just enjoy stable, predictable energy costs.

Adding Battery Storage to Your Solar System
Grid instability and rising PG&E rates make battery storage more valuable than ever. Home Pro Roofing and Solar helps homeowners pair solar with battery storage for greater control and protection during outages.
Available Battery Options
- Tesla Powerwall 3
- QCells Q.SAVE
Batteries can be integrated into a PPA, or if you prefer to own the battery outright, we offer competitive financing and installation packages.
A battery allows you to store energy for night use, avoid peak-hour utility rates, and maintain power during grid failures.
Why PPAs Make Financial Sense
Skip the High Upfront Cost
The average solar system for a Bay Area home can cost around $29,000 or more. For many families, that price creates unnecessary pressure. A PPA removes that barrier by replacing ownership with a simple pay-as-you-go model.
Keep in mind that PPA systems do not qualify for the federal tax credit because you’re not the system owner. But you still get the benefit of clean power immediately, at a predictable monthly rate.
Ideal for Many Homeowners
- First-time homeowners
- Families focusing on monthly savings
- Retirees on fixed income
- Homeowners avoiding long-term equipment responsibilities
Environmental Benefits Without the Cost of Ownership
Solar energy produces zero emissions and is among the cleanest power sources available. Choosing solar, even through a PPA, helps:
- Reduce pollution
- Improve neighborhood air quality
- Cut reliance on fossil fuels
For many Bay Area families, it’s an easy way to support a cleaner future without the cost of purchasing a system.
Protection Against Rising Electricity Rates
PG&E rates continue to rise year after year. The Enfin PPA provides insulation from unpredictable increases by offering a stable rate structure for decades.
Long-Term Stability Includes
- Fixed and predictable monthly rate
- No unexpected utility-driven increases
- Reliable solar production guaranteed by Axia
This gives homeowners peace of mind and long-term energy security.
What If You Prefer to Own Your Solar System?
Some homeowners want the long-term upside of ownership. If that’s you, Home Pro Roofing and Solar offers complete solar design and installation with top manufacturers.
Benefits of Ownership
- Access to the 30 percent federal solar tax credit (while still active
- Higher long-term return on investment
- Freedom to choose premium equipment
- Full integration with new roof installations
- Ownership-based battery pairing
If you’re unsure whether a PPA or ownership is better for your home, we can compare both options based on your usage, roof condition, and financial goals.

Pros and Cons of a Solar PPA vs. Solar Ownership
Solar PPA (Power Purchase Agreement)
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| No upfront cost to install the system | You don’t qualify for the 30 percent federal tax credit |
| Predictable, stable electricity rates for 20 to 25 years | You don’t own the equipment or gain long-term asset value |
| All maintenance, monitoring, and repairs included | Savings can be lower over the long term compared to ownership |
| Provider guarantees system performance and handles production issues | Contract terms may include annual rate escalators |
| Easy approval process compared to a solar loan | Selling the home requires transferring the PPA or buying it out |
Solar Ownership
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| You qualify for the 30 percent federal tax credit (while available) | Higher upfront investment compared to a PPA |
| Maximum lifetime savings and full return on investment | You are responsible for maintenance and repairs once warranties expire |
| You own a tangible home asset that can increase property value | Inverter replacements and future equipment updates are your cost |
| More control over equipment selection and system design | Not ideal for homeowners planning to move within a few years |
| Ability to integrate batteries under ownership terms rather than provider rules | Roof issues require coordination if the original installer is unavailable |
