There are three primary options available if you are considering investing in solar panels, solar carpark, solar farms or related products and services. These options include an upfront purchase, taking out a loan or signing a PPA. We will go through these options in their entirety below:

Commercial, industrial and corporate clients will normally procure a system under a capex purchase, this will allow the owner to realise their savings from day 1. An upfront purchase has the advantage of being a one-time transaction, where you fully own the solar panels and related products that are set up on your property.

Power Purchase Agreement

The Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) provider constructs, maintains, owns and operates the solar system on your organisations facility. They then sell you the electricity generated rather than selling the system itself. Such an agreement means you only pay for the energy produced, and at a lower price than power from the grid.
