Solar for your business, with nothing to pay upfront
Through a Power Purchase Agreement, SolarTech funds, installs and maintains a solar system on your site. You simply buy the electricity it generates, at a fixed rate below what you pay the grid.
- No capital outlay and nothing on your balance sheet
- Lower, predictable energy costs from the day it switches on
- Monitoring and maintenance included for the life of the agreement
- Measurable progress towards your net zero targets

How a solar PPA works
You get the savings of solar without buying the system. Here's what happens.
We survey your site
Our team assesses your roof or land and your energy use, then shows you the expected generation and savings. The survey is free.
We fund and install
SolarTech covers design, equipment, installation and grid connection. You don't spend a penny on the system.
You pay less for power
You buy the electricity your panels generate at an agreed fixed rate below grid prices. We monitor and maintain everything.
Three ways to go solar
A PPA suits most businesses, but it isn't the only route. Your assessment compares all three for your site.
| Power Purchase Agreement | Lease | Outright purchase | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | None | None | Full system cost |
| What you pay | Only for the power you use, at a fixed rate | A fixed monthly payment | Nothing after purchase |
| Who owns it | SolarTech | SolarTech, until the lease ends | You |
| Maintenance | Included | Usually included | Your responsibility, or by contract |
| Best for | Saving from day one with no capital spend | Predictable costs with a route to ownership | The biggest long-term return |
Built for sites that use serious energy
PPAs work best where there's a large roof or spare land and steady daytime electricity use. If you're not sure your site qualifies, the free assessment will tell you.
Common questions
Is it really free upfront?
Yes. Under a PPA, SolarTech pays for the design, equipment and installation. You pay only for the electricity the system produces, at a rate agreed before anything is installed.
How long does a PPA last?
Agreements typically run for a long term so the rate can stay low and fixed. We'll set out the exact term and rate for your site in your assessment, so you can see the full picture before committing.
What if we move or sell the building?
There are options, including transferring the agreement to the new occupier or buying the system out. We'll walk you through them before you sign.
Who looks after the panels?
We do. Monitoring, maintenance and repairs are included for the life of the agreement.
Do we need to own the building?
Not necessarily, but you'll need a secure site for the length of the agreement. Owners and businesses on a long lease usually qualify; landlord consent may be needed.
