The Bad
- No Leases or PPAs

No Leases or PPAs
Unfortunately, Horizon does not offer leases or Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), which are attractive payment options for consumers who can't or don't want to take on the responsibility of the full investment but would still like to use cleaner energy.
