We investigate skew power series of $\alpha$-rigid p.p.-rings, where $\alpha$ is an endomorphism of a ring R which is not assumed to be surjective. For an $\alpha$-rigid ring R, R[[${\chi};{\alpha}$]] is right p.p., if and only if R[[${\chi},{\chi}^{-1};{\alpha}$]] is right p.p., if and only if R is right p.p. and any countable family of idempotents in R has a join in I(R).
