A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) gives immediate savings on energy costs and protects the environment for no upfront cost.
How A Solar PPA Benefits My Business
Reduce Energy Cost Immediately
Purchasing lower cost solar energy through a solar PPA instead of energy at grid prices gives immediate savings.
No Maintenance Costs
The solar energy system is managed for you as part of the PPA so there are no additional costs to pay.
Protecting Against Grid Price Fluctuations
Once agreed the unit price of the solar energy will only rise with inflation and not susceptible to the wider electricity price influences, enabling effective budgeting with no surprises.
No Upfront Cost
By only purchasing solar power instead of investing in a solar system means no upfront costs to be paid for or financed.
Protecting The Environment
Become a environmentally responsible company in the eyes of your suppliers and customers at no extra cost.
Completely Transferrable
If you move to new premises then the PPA is transferrable to the new occupants of the property that has the PPA.
What Is Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)?
A solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) allows an organisation to benefit from the advantages of solar power without the responsibilities of owning or operating a solar energy system. An organisation can then deploy the capital that would have been required to install solar energy generation.
As part of the PPA the organisation leases the roof or ground plus the airspace above for a solar energy system to be installed, while agreeing to purchase the solar power at a reduced rate over the lifetime of the system operating, usually 25 years.
The energy supplier, is responsible for installing and maintaining the solar system over it’s lifetime to provide the purchaser with the discounted energy, saving money over the period of the agreement.
How A Solar PPA Operates
The initial stages are very similar to installing any solar energy system. We assess your roof and provide a proposal to show what can be achieved, the savings to be made and environmental benefits.
When accepted, there are two separate agreements. The first is for leasing your roof or ground space with the airspace above so the solar system can be installed and made operational. The second is the PPA agreeing to purchase the power the system generates.
We operate the solar energy system and you enjoy lower electricity costs for the period of the agreement. At the end of the PPA either the system transfers to you to continue using the power for the rest of the system life. Alternatively you can extend the PPA or start over.
So if your business wants to have the benefit of solar but does not want to commit to the upfront expense due to having other things to spend your capital on, and the peace of mind that everything is taken care of and the business does not have to master solar energy systems, then PPA is an ideal way to do this through lower protected electricity rates, at the same time removing the company as well from the fluctuations of steadily rising grid electricity prices (see Protecting Against Energy Price Increases).
