What is a PPA?

A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) lets businesses access clean, solar‑generated electricity without upfront capital investment.

Installation at zero cost

PPA Marketplace installs and maintains solar panels (and optional battery storage) on your premises.

Energy paid per use

You pay only for the electricity the system generates—at a competitive, fixed rate.

Predictable pricing

Rates adjust only annually as per the Retail Price Index (RPI), insulating you from volatile energy markets.

Full maintenance included

We handle monitoring, servicing, and warranties—100% hassle‑free for up to 25 years.

How a PPA protects your bottom line

With energy prices spiking up to 20–30% by 2030, unpredictable costs can threaten budgets. A PPA secures a fixed, long-term energy rate, matched only to RPI, delivering financial clarity and resilience.

Ideal for your business if you’re:

  • A high-energy user - manufacturing, data centres, large offices
  • Equipped with ample roof or land space for panel installation
  • Concerned about energy price volatility
  • Pursuing visible sustainability goals or public green credentials
  • Focused on financial flexibility - no capital tied up in infrastructure

Compare your cost methods

Choosing the right financing method for solar energy can significantly impact your long-term savings, cash flow, and operational flexibility.

The table below compares the three most common options - CAPEX purchase, lease/hire-purchase, and Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)—across key financial and operational factors. As shown, a PPA offers the most accessible path to clean energy with no upfront cost, immediate savings, and fully managed maintenance, making it ideal for businesses focused on both sustainability and budget stability.
