Solar PPA, also known as Power Purchase Agreement, meaning that you pay nothing upfront, take no risk, however still enjoy the benefits of a Commercial Solar PV system.

The PPA agreement, gives you a freedom of accessing Solar as a Service, without the need of large CAPEX cost, while you receive benefits of Solar PV Panels Installed on your Commercial Roof.

Normally with a PPA, you will have two suppliers instead of one (like now).

This means, whatever your Solar Panel generates, you purchase from the PPA provider on a fixed price and you only purchase the surplus from your current Energy Supplier.

For Example: ABC Food Company consume 100,000kW Day time energy from ESB and installing a 50kW Peak Solar PV Array. Depends on the orientation of the Solar array & depends on the quality of the materials, this 50kW PV system will generate between 37,000 – 45,000kW per Annum.

Your Business will purchase 45,000kW of Energy on a fix (e.g: 20c/kwh) while you keep purchasing the 55,000kWh from ESB, which the solar panels could supply.

If your Energy rate is 50c/kW (Variable) with your supplier and your PPA is 20c/kWH (fixed), your Savings can be calculated like this:
