How long does installation take?

The process from signing the agreement to full installation typically takes 2–3 months, depending on the size and complexity of the project.

Will servicing costs increase over time?

No. We've factored in our expected lifetime costs and have fixed our rate accordingly — giving you complete cost certainty for the duration of the agreement.

Does the rate increase over time?

No. The rate is fixed for the full duration of the contract, providing energy cost certainty for a percentage of your site consumption.

Who is responsible for maintaining the system?

We are responsible for the full operation, maintenance and repair of the solar system for the entire duration of the contract, including performance monitoring and handling all repairs.

What payment model do you use?

We use a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) model — you only pay for the energy you consume from the solar system at a rate generally lower than traditional utility costs.

What if we move or sell the property?

Our contracts are fully transferable to the new property owner or tenant, allowing flexibility for businesses that relocate or sell during the contract term.

The smarter way to go solar

Reliable, clean, low-cost electricity.

Instead of buying panels outright, we take care of everything - from funding and installation to performance monitoring. You simply purchase the electricity it produces under a long-term agreement at a fixed rate, significantly lower than current grid rates.

No upfront investment, no operational disruption. Just reliable, clean, low-cost electricity. Our agreements typically last 10 to 20 years, providing transparent pricing, consistent savings, and complete peace of mind.

Solar energy as a service (SaaS) vs CAPEX
