Commercial Solar PV
When you think about climate change, whether you believe in 5% of the science or 100%, society, governments, finance and industry are increasingly designing strategies to influence the climate change movement.
Opportunities For Growth
Climate Change
Carbon Neutral
Sustainability & Corporate Responsibility
Industries are raising questions about whether they should think about investing differently and add the lens of climate risks to their investment strategy. The answer is, of course, YES, they should. Industry leaders are accustomed to solving complex multi-stakeholder issues. However, now climate change poses an existential question that spans portfolios, strategies, operations, production, marketing, investor relations and even more.
There is only one thing for certain and that is: it demands action to mitigate risk.
It also presents opportunities for growth. The normal rules of business don’t stop when it comes to sustainability and corporate responsibility. A pragmatic solution still matters and so does your return on investment. We can help all industries achieve these challenges profitably and therefore as a result thrive in this carbon-neutral future.

Battery Storage
Commercial Sites Become Independant
Along with solar PV, we have seen the second biggest boom of the renewable’s era. That has been a massive change in battery storage which, over the last five years, has seen the capability of these units supersede what was expected. We now see football stadiums such as Ajax, Arsenal and many smaller clubs taking advantage of these technologies to reduce their ever-increasing energy consumption.
We are now seeing more and more commercial sites looking to get away from their reliance on the national grid and become more independent. Thanks to battery storage advances, we are now able to offer these options to more and more businesses across the UK. From a small bakery to a 24-hour dairy farm, we can supply your business with the best option available for your needs.
Commercial Funding
We have flexibility to offer a range of funding options to our clients, with our associated partners at ReCycled Refuse International Ltd, we can offer fully funded projects where we cover all upfront costs to the customer funded solutions. PPA is growing across the UK and we can work with you to design an appropriate solution that meets your requirements and delivers energy to your business at significantly lower-than-market rates year on year.
Power Purchase Agreements (PPA):
We specialise in helping businesses reduce their dependence on fossil fuels and to make the simplified transition to renewable energy through innovative Power Purchase Agreements (PPA). As energy costs continue to rise, and environmental sustainability becomes increasingly critical, many businesses are turning to solar power. We are able to offer PPA with our funding option through our association at ReCycled Refuse International Ltd (https://rcrcommodities.com/), who are backed with Lloyds of London AA rated certification providing you, as the end user, with peace of mind that the projects and their future are safe in our hands and will do what they say on the label.
Our PPA model offers a no-capital-expenditure solution, to adopting solar energy, providing immediate cost savings, long-term benefits and importantly the knowledge that energy prices and supply will be assured at lower than market price fixed for an agreed term. This PPA option is more like a loan, where the business eventually owns the solar system after completing the agreement payments over a period of 15-20 years via monthly or quarterly energy usage.
The business often has the option to buy the system at a minimal cost at the end of the lease or the option to buy out after a term as agreed is completed.
Solar Lease Option
What is commercial solar leasing?
Lease Agreement: In a commercial solar lease, a third-party company (often called a solar leasing company or solar developer) installs and owns the solar panels on the business's property.
Monthly Payments: The business agrees to lease the solar system for a fixed period, typically 15-25 years, and makes regular payments to the leasing company.
No Upfront Costs: Since the leasing company covers the cost of purchasing and installing the solar system, the business can start using solar energy without a significant initial investment.
Benefits of Commercial Solar Leasing
Reduced Energy Costs: The business can often benefit from lower electricity costs since solar energy typically costs less than traditional energy sources.
Predictable Payments: Lease payments are usually fixed or have predictable increases, which helps businesses manage their energy budgets.
Tax Benefits: Depending on the lease structure, businesses may be able to take advantage of certain tax incentives, though these benefits are usually utilized by the leasing company.
Types of Commercial Solar Leasing
Operating Lease: The business leases the solar system without taking on the responsibility of ownership. The leasing company therefore retains ownership, and the business may have the option to buy the system at the end of the lease term, though this is not guaranteed.
Capital Lease (or Finance Lease): This is more like a loan, where the business eventually owns the solar system after completing the lease payments. The business often has the option to buy the system at a minimal cost at the end of the lease.
Who should consider commercial solar leasing?
Cash-Constrained Businesses: Companies that want to go solar without a large upfront investment.
Businesses with Limited Tax Liability: Since the leasing company often takes advantage of tax incentives, businesses that don’t have a large tax liability might prefer leasing over purchasing.
Organisations Focused on Sustainability: Leasing can be an attractive option for companies committed to sustainability goals without impacting their capital expenditure.
Commercial solar leasing can be a financially viable way for businesses to reduce their energy costs and carbon footprint, but it’s important to carefully review and understand the lease agreement to ensure it aligns with the business’s financial and operational goals.
Purchasing Commercial Solar Option
The quickest return on investment is paying upfront for Solar PV installation, but we are aware this is not always a viable option and can lead to large sum investment in order to start the short-term benefits. However, wait 4, 5 or 6 years at the most to see the investment cleared (subject to size of project). Structured payments have always allowed commercial buildings to get their renewable goals started and with Tax benefits and renewable carbon goals being achieved by many major businesses allowing positive marketing.
The choice is yours.
