What is a Solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)?

A Solar PPA is a fully funded solar PV model offering reduced energy costs and long-term savings. The developer designs, finances, and installs a solar PV system on your premises, and you purchase the generated electricity at a lower rate than grid prices.

Key Benefits:

  • Lower Costs: Reduced electricity rates compared to the grid.
  • Sustainability: Cut carbon emissions with green energy.
  • No Maintenance: The developer manages system operations and upkeep.
  • End-of-Term Flexibility: Extend the agreement, purchase the system, or have it removed.

How It Works

  • Assessment: The provider evaluates your roof and offers a proposal.
  • Agreement: Enter into a PPA (typically 25 years) and lease roof airspace.
  • Installation: The system is installed at no cost to you.
  • Savings: Enjoy reduced electricity bills without maintenance expenses.
  • Post-Term Benefits: Option to own the system for continued savings.

Who Benefits?

Businesses with:

  • Ownership or long-term leases.
  • At least 600m² of roof space for 100kWp systems.
  • Regular electricity use and a half-hourly electricity meter.
  • A good credit rating.

Advantages of PPAs

  • Immediate Savings: Cheaper electricity rates.
  • Zero Costs: Installation and maintenance are fully covered.
  • No Hassles: Maintenance and insurance are managed by the developer.
  • Transferability: Agreements transfer with property changes.
  • Tax Efficiency: Avoid ownership-related tax increases.

Long-Term Viability

PPAs lock in predictable electricity costs, rising only with RPI, shielding your business from market price hikes. Terms typically span 25 years but can start at 10, aligning with your goals.

Additionally, PPAs enhance green credentials, demonstrating your commitment to sustainability and strengthening relationships with customers, suppliers, and employees.

Buy vs. PPA?

While outright ownership offers faster ROI, PPAs eliminate upfront costs, operational duties, and tax burdens, providing maximum convenience and long-term savings.
