Fully funded commercial solar
Your roof could unlock a powerful business advantage: solar electricity potentially as low as 8p/kWh, with no upfront installation cost through a fully funded PPA. Subject to site suitability, consumption, credit and funder approval. Prefer to own the system? Asset finance spreads the purchase cost instead — we model both routes so you can compare the numbers.
The numbers
Your roof. Solar funded.
*Subject to site, credit, energy consumption, landlord, technical and funder approval. The potential 8p/kWh PPA rate is not guaranteed for every site. Savings depend on the agreed rate, any annual increases and alternative grid electricity costs; asset finance is a separate funding route.
How qualification works
Funders look at roof condition and ownership, lease length, your consumption profile and covenant strength. Sites using most of their power during daylight hours qualify most easily.
What's included
Design, installation, monitoring and ongoing maintenance sit with the funder, not you. If generation drops, that's their problem to fix.
PPA or asset finance?
A PPA suits businesses that want savings with zero capital and zero responsibility. Asset finance suits those who want to own the system and keep the full long-term value. We model both.
Who it suits
Warehouses, manufacturers, cold storage, agriculture, schools, leisure centres and retail — any site with a large roof and meaningful daytime electricity use.
Half-hourly data modelling
If you have half-hourly metering, we model the system against your actual consumption curve, so the proposal reflects how your site really uses power.
End of term
PPA options typically include purchase of the system, extension of the agreement, or removal. With asset finance, the system is simply yours once the term ends.
FAQs
Common questions
Two ways to fund it
PPA or asset finance — we'll show you both
Every site is different. Rather than push one route, we model your consumption against both and present the comparison — you decide with the numbers in front of you.
Fully funded PPA
- No capital outlay — the funder pays for everything
- Solar electricity potentially as low as 8p/kWh — subject to site, consumption, credit and funder approval
- Design, installation, monitoring and maintenance sit with the funder
- Long agreement, usually 10–25 years, with end-of-term options
Asset finance
- You own the system — spread the cost over fixed monthly payments
- Often cash-flow positive: savings can exceed the repayments
- You keep the export income and the long-term asset value
- Shorter terms, typically 3–10 years, then the system is yours outright
The process
From roof survey to funded solar

Tell us about your site
A few details about your premises, consumption and whether you own or lease. Upload a bill if you have one.

We model both routes
Using your consumption — half-hourly data where available — we model a fully funded PPA and asset finance side by side.
- 3
Funder approval
For the PPA route, the funder reviews roof, covenant and consumption. For finance, the lender reviews the business.

Installation & switch-on
Accredited installer partners fit the system, typically with minimal disruption to operations, and the savings start from day one.
