Power Purchase Agreements
PPAs
What is a PPA?
Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) enable you to have free commercial solar panels. You simply pay for the solar electricity you use. Through our partnership with Electron Green we handle the expert installation while Electron Green funds and manages the solar system. Electron Green then supplies you with solar electricity at a price which is lower than you would be paying the grid. This collaboration ensures a smooth transition to solar power, allowing businesses to enjoy predictable energy rates and immediate savings.
PPAs have been widely adopted in the energy industry as a trusted, secure way for businesses to go green without the financial burden of solar ownership. With a PPA:
- Your Costs Are Fixed and Transparent
- No Maintenance Costs or Hidden Fees
- Guaranteed Service Quality and Support
- Long-Term Savings with Sustainability Impact
- No need to change utility provider– you will just be using less expensive energy
Our PPA Options
Free Solar Option
With Electron Green’s Free Solar Option, your solar PV system is fully funded and maintained, with 3S Northampton completing the installation to high-quality standards. You’ll only pay for the electricity generated at rate lower than you are currently paying for grid electricity. This option eliminates the need for upfront capital, making solar accessible from day one. If you have the system for 25 years, you will be gifted it at that point. You also have the option to buy the system at any point during your PPA – the price of the system is fixed at the start of your contract, and depreciates over time.
Lease-to-Own
For businesses that know they want to own the system on day 1, this option provides a pathway to own the solar PV system after a fixed lease period, typically 10 years. With this lease-to-own structure, you benefit from fixed monthly payments and enjoy energy cost savings. After the lease term, the system is yours, providing free energy for decades with maintenance and performance warranties in place.
