Are PPAs a viable financing option for local government solar projects?

When did SolarCity start implementing PPAs?

In May 2011 SolarCity was selected as the leading provider, and in September 2011 the city approved a resolution approving the execution of PPAs (one for each site) at 28 sites totaling roughly 4 MW, involving a combination of rooftop and carport systems (two sites were eventually dropped after further review).

What rights does a grantee have under the solar PPA?

Why did the town choose SolarCity?
