Energy price guarantee

Businesses who own their own commercial property can now get access to greener, cheaper rooftop solar energy on a pay per kWh basis. Solar as a Service simplifies the process and allows businesses to gain the benefits of solar without having to spend any money upfront, worry about its ROI or commit to solar over the systems life.

Shorter term energy contracts align to the financial planning of the business. No CapEx is needed to fund the installation, no loans are required to be secured and there is no worry about where the business will be in 20-30 years from now.

How it works

We install solar on your building and don’t charge you anything. You get free management and maintenance. The system is insured and cleaned as required..

You choose a contract duration that suits you. Our fixed Solar Power Purchase Agreements (PPA’s) flex between 3 and 7 years. The longer the contract, the cheaper the energy. Any extra energy needed during higher usage or winter months is supplied by your grid supplier.

When your fixed term ends your contract will automatically renew for 12 months with an inflation adjusted increase. At any point outside of your fixed term we can agree a new fixed term at an agreed price.

Our Fair Price Guarantee. If at any time outside of your fixed PPA term our energy price is more than what you are currently paying to your Energy Supplier then we will attempt to beat that price. If we can’t, we will match it. You will not see this from other PPA providers. (Terms and conditions apply)

If you decide to sell the property, you can pass on the lease to the new owner and the new owner is not obliged to purchase energy from us, making this a risk-free transfer.

When the system reaches end of life, we recycle it for you.

Battery Storage

If you don’t use most of your energy when the sun shines, then we can provide a battery storage option to help you maximize your cheaper solar energy. This produces less CO2 emissions than using grid energy. In some instances, your battery can be setup as a backup power source for critical and low power loads.

If requested, we will size a battery, based on your requirements and give you a simple monthly price for the service. This service will have the same contract term as your solar energy contract (Power Purchase Agreement), so you can make the right choice for your situation and get the most from your solar panels.

FAQ’s

1. How much does the installation cost?

Nothing. We fund all the equipment and the solar installation. There is no upfront cost to you.

2. Will there be any ongoing fees?

The only ongoing fees will be for any energy generated by the solar system. Our contracts start from only 3 years.

3. How much will you charge me for solar energy?

Once we have completed our survey and scoped out the size of system, we will be able to give you a fixed price per kWh of solar energy generated and an indication of how much this will save you compared to your current tariff. We aim to save you at least 10% of your current electricity bill, but often the savings are much larger.

4. How long does it take to install the solar system?

Once the contract is signed, we will work to secure the required funding. Once achieved we will contact our installers and depending on a few factors it would typically be installed within 5-9 months. The actual install takes 2 – 6 weeks depending on the size of the solar install. In the current economic climate, funding is harder to secure, which can delay these timelines somewhat. Either way, we will keep you fully informed throughout the process.

5. Will your solar system save us more compared to buying our own system?

This depends on a lot of factors, but typically speaking if you are going to remain in your property for 10+ years and you have the upfront capital to invest, then the savings will be better if you purchased your own solar system. However, if you are not planning on spending 10+ years in your property, or you don’t have the upfront capital or don’t want to spend your own capital on solar, then our Solar as a Service solution is almost certain to generate a larger savings over this period.

6. How much will your Solar as a Service solution save me?

This depends on many factors, but assuming we can install enough solar panels at your property then we will typically save you between 10% – 30% of your electricity bill, with no upfront investment required.

7. What happens if I no longer want to buy the solar energy from you?

You must purchase the solar energy from us for the duration you remain in the property, up until the solar system reaches its end of life. However, we do provide a Price Guarantee, which means we will always beat or at worst match the rate you are currently paying your Energy Supplier, giving you the peace of mind that you won’t be over charged.

8. Will it be harder to sell my property if I have Solar as a Service?

Unlike other rooftop solar PPA’s, we do not require the new owner to agree to purchase our solar energy (and don’t require you to pay out for all future energy generation expected over the life of the solar system) and so you do not need to pass this risk on, when you sell your property. This makes it easier to sell compared to having another solar PPA solution, however, there will be some additional paperwork required to transfer the lease agreement, which we can help with if needed.
