Answering some common PPA questions
A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) allows your business to install solar panels and/or battery storage systems with zero upfront costs. Instead, you purchase the energy you consume at a fixed, competitive rate. Solar PPAs are ideal for businesses with high energy consumption, while battery PPAs are perfect for locations with limited sunlight. Battery systems store energy during cheaper periods (such as Eco7 hours) and supply it when energy is needed most, lowering overall energy costs.
Solar and battery PPAs are ideal for businesses looking to:
Reduce operational costs by cutting energy bills with renewable power.
Achieve sustainability goals, particularly with businesses facing EPC rating pressures (Energy Performance Certificate). A better EPC rating can help avoid penalties and demonstrate your commitment to reducing carbon emissions.
Commercial properties, including those in areas with limited sunlight, can benefit from battery PPAs, which store energy during cheaper times and discharge during peak demand.
Businesses across various sectors, including manufacturing, logistics, retail, data centres, and agriculture, can significantly lower energy costs while contributing to a greener environment.
Zero Upfront Costs – No capital investment required for system installation.
Pay As You Consume – You only pay for the energy you actually use.
Stable Energy Rates – Your energy costs will always be at least 30% lower than the Ofgem price cap, providing predictable savings.
Lifetime System Maintenance – We offer free lifetime maintenance, including cleaning and repairs.
Long-Term Investment – After the PPA term ends, the system is yours to keep, with 10-15 more years of productive use.
Fully Insured – Your system is covered by comprehensive insurance at no extra cost.
Scalable Solutions – Your system can be scaled as your business grows, ensuring that energy needs are always met.
Carbon Footprint Reduction – Reduce your environmental impact with clean, renewable energy.
Improved EPC Rating – Enhance your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating, helping you meet compliance standards and avoid penalties.
To provide you with a tailored PPA proposal, we need some essential details about your business and energy consumption:
Site Address
Company/Landlord Name
Tenancy Type (freehold/leasehold)
12 Months Annual Consumption Data (preferably with 30-minute half-hourly billing data)
Current Utility Rates (daytime & nighttime rates)
Current Energy Contract End Date
Once we receive this information, we can assess your needs and provide a bespoke PPA proposal with transparent savings.
Battery PPAs are particularly useful for businesses in areas with inconsistent or lower levels of sunlight. The system allows you to store energy from the grid during cheaper Eco7 hours and discharge it during peak times when electricity prices are higher. This helps you save money, especially during times when solar energy is not being generated. Businesses such as data centres, logistics companies, and retailers who experience high energy demands during peak hours will benefit greatly from this energy storage solution.
Solar and battery PPAs typically last between 15 to 25 years, providing your business with long-term, predictable savings. After the contract ends, you will have the option to own the system at no additional cost, continuing to benefit from the renewable energy it generates for many more years.
Yes, we offer scalable solutions. If your business grows and energy demands increase, your system can be upgraded to meet those needs. We design your PPA system with the flexibility to scale, ensuring your business always has access to affordable energy, even as your energy consumption rises.
Businesses are under increasing pressure to improve their Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ratings, especially with government regulations tightening. A PPA system can dramatically improve your EPC rating by reducing your reliance on grid electricity and cutting your carbon footprint. A higher EPC rating can help you avoid penalties, increase the market value of your property, and attract sustainability-conscious clients.
We provide free lifetime maintenance, which includes repairs and system cleaning, ensuring that your system performs optimally throughout its lifespan. If the system experiences issues, we’ll handle any required fixes at no additional cost to you.
Getting started is easy! Simply provide us with the required details (such as your site address, energy consumption data, and current utility rates), and we’ll create a custom, no-obligation PPA proposal that’s tailored to your business’s needs. From there, our team will guide you through the installation process and ensure the system is set up for optimal performance.
