Understanding Sunrun Lease & PPA Contracts
In a typical Sunrun lease or Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), Sunrun maintains legal ownership of the solar equipment on your roof. You agree to make fixed monthly lease payments or pay per kilowatt-hour generated over a 20 to 25 year period.
Key terms that generate the most homeowner disputes include:
- The 2.9% Annual Escalator: Many Sunrun agreements increase your monthly rate by 2.9% every year. Over 25 years, payments can double, outpacing local utility price increases.
- UCC-1 Fixture Filings during Home Sales: Sunrun files a UCC-1 security statement against the solar equipment. When selling your home, buyers often refuse to assume the lease, creating closing friction.
- Legacy Vivint Solar Portfolio: Sunrun acquired Vivint Solar in 2020. Sunrun is legally responsible for servicing and honoring consumer claims on legacy Vivint contracts.
