Financing Your Commercial Solar Panels
Even though the feed in tarrifs have dropped a company can expect to typically see a ROI of 15% within 4 - 7 years. Depending on how you wish to fund you commercial solar project as an outright purchase or using finance, Empower Energy work with several renewable energy asset investors in the UK that can offer free fully maintained and installled solar PV systems. These are known as PPA (Power Purchase Agreements).
What is A PPA (Power Purchase Agreement)
The developer / investor sells the electricity generated to the customer at a fixed rate that is typically lower than the local electricity company rate.
This lower electricity price serves to offset the customer's purchase of electricity from the grid, while the developer receives the income from these sales of electricity as well as any other inventives generated from the system. PPA typically last 25 years and the developer remains responsible for the operation and maintenance of the system for the duration of the agreement. At the end of the PPA contract, a customer normally takes ownership of the system for a very nominal fee.
Benefits Of A PPA

Guaranteed Saving On Energy Costs - The energy produced by the solar system is purchased back from the investor at a cheaper rate than conventional energy providers.
No Maintenance Cost - The system will be maintained and serviced by the investment company.
