Solar PPA - Power Purchase Agreements
de risked solar PV solutions
Many Irish business owners are eager to embark on the Solar Journey, but the significant hurdle of the upfront capital requirement, even with the SEAI Commercial grants, often holds them back.
If you’re feeling the weight of the upfront capital requirement, we have a solution that can provide immediate relief: a Solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).
What is a a Solar PPA?
A solar PPA, also known as a Power Purchase Agreement, is a unique solution that allows you to enjoy the benefits of a Commercial Solar PV system without any upfront costs or risks.Â
The PPA agreement empowers you to take control of your energy Future, without the need for a large CAPEX cost.
You can enjoy the benefits of Solar PV Panels Installed on your Commercial Roof, all while maintaining control over your energy choices.
Normally, with a PPA, you will have two suppliers instead of one (like now).
This means that whatever your Solar Panel generates, you purchase from the PPA provider at a fixed price, and you only purchase the surplus from your current Energy Supplier.

How Solar PPA Works?
For Example…
Your firm consumes 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 PVsystem 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 reduced (approx 55%) 55,000kWh from ESB, which the solar panels couldn’t supply.
