Power Purchase Agreements
Go Solar with Zero Capital Outlay via a PPA
Slash your energy bills, cut CO₂ emissions, and boost your EPC rating—without any upfront cost or maintenance worries. Under a Power Purchase Agreement, our funding partner covers design, installation, equipment, and ongoing servicing. You pay only for the clean solar power you use at a fixed, below-market rate for 20–25 years, then take ownership of the system at minimal cost.
What Is a PPA?
A Power Purchase Agreement is a long-term contract in which a specialist provider owns and maintains a rooftop or ground-mounted solar array on your property. You simply purchase the electricity it generates at an agreed rate—typically 10–45% cheaper than grid power—with no capital expenditure, no performance risk, and all upkeep included. At the end of the term, ownership transfers to you, unlocking decades of free, green energy.
Grid vs PPA: Why It Pays to Switch
Most UK businesses pay between 26p and 29p per kWh for grid electricity, exposed to market fluctuations and rising wholesale costs. By contrast, PPA rates typically start from 12–15p per kWh. You can lock in this low rate for 25 years or select a “stepped” model that begins as low as 12p/kWh and rises by 3% annually—still averaging under 18p across the contract term. Some hybrid structures let you pay a slightly higher rate (around 20p/kWh) in exchange for full system ownership after 10–15 years, seamlessly shifting from PPA to free solar generation.
Is a PPA The Right Choice for You?
PPAs suit businesses consuming at least 250 MWh of electricity per year, with stable site tenure (freehold or long lease) and a strong credit profile. If your operation meets these criteria, a PPA can transform your energy strategy—delivering immediate bill savings, rising asset value, and a clear path to net-zero goals. Many of our clients report annual savings in the tens of thousands of pounds, EPC uplifts of multiple bands, and lifetime CO₂ reductions in the hundreds of tonnes.
Your PPA Advantages
Zero Capital Commitment
Your provider funds every aspect of the project—panels, inverters, wiring, installation, and monitoring—so you preserve working capital and avoid borrowing.
Guaranteed Cost Savings
Lock in a discounted solar rate—often starting as low as 12 p/kWh or fixed at 15 p/kWh—and shield your business from volatile utility markets.
EPC & Compliance
On-site solar generation can increase your Energy Performance Certificate by up to 15 points, ensuring you meet Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards and strengthening tenant appeal.
Operational Simplicity
All maintenance, performance guarantees, and warranty support are handled by your PPA partner, freeing your team to focus on core operations.
Long-Term Ownership
At PPA maturity (usually year 20–25), the system transfers to your balance sheet at no or nominal cost, delivering years of fully free solar power.
Compare Your Funding Options
Rather than shouldering the full CapEx and maintenance of a solar installation, a PPA offers “solar as a service”—pure energy savings at no upfront cost. Should you prefer, outright purchase maximises long-term savings and tax allowances, while lease-to-own spreads investment over time and secures eventual ownership. Our team will model each route side-by-side, highlighting cash flows, grant impacts, and payback periods so you can choose with confidence.
Installation Process
Enquiry & Qualification
Reach out with a simple form enquiry or phone call, and we'll review your energy usage, site tenure, and credit profile to confirm PPA feasibility—no obligation, just clarity.
Site Feasibility & Energy Assessment
Our engineers conduct a detailed roof or ground-mount survey, capture shading, orientation, and structural data, and analyse your historical consumption to size the system accurately.
Custom PPA Proposal & Financial Modeling
We deliver a bespoke PPA offer showing your locked-in solar tariff, projected savings versus grid power, grant offsets, and cash-flow impact over 20–25 years.
Contract Negotiation & Grid Application
Once you accept, we draft the PPA, secure your approval, and handle all DNO (Distribution Network Operator) applications—so your grid connection is ready when panels arrive.
Permitting & Planning Approvals
Our team navigates any local planning, building control, and structural sign-off requirements, ensuring full compliance without burdening your staff.
Technical Design & Equipment Procurement
We finalize the PV layout, select Tier 1 modules and inverters, and manage procurement—aligning lead times so everything arrives in sync with your installation window.
Installation & Commissioning
Certified installers complete the build in as little as two to six weeks, integrating seamlessly with your operations. We then perform performance testing, grid synchronization, and hand over full operating manuals.
Ongoing Monitoring, Maintenance & Handover
From Day 1, 24/7 remote monitoring alerts us to any issues. We handle all warranty work and performance optimizations. At PPA maturity (year 20–25), ownership transfers to you—often at no extra cost—so you continue enjoying free, green power.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really pay nothing up front?
Yes. Every design, permit, panel, and maintenance service is covered by the PPA provider.
What happens when the PPA ends?
Ownership transfers to you at little or no cost, granting you free solar power for the rest of the system’s lifespan.
Can I add battery storage?
Absolutely—storage can be integrated under the same PPA or via a complementary funding agreement to further boost savings and resilience.
Do I still need a grid contract?
Yes—for backup power and export handling. Solar simply offsets your grid use, reducing your overall bill.
Can I exit early or buy the system sooner?
Many PPAs offer early buyout options or hybrid rates that convert to ownership in 10–15 years.
