Commercial rooftop solar through a Power Purchase Agreement
A solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) can give your business access to electricity generated on its own roof without paying the installation cost upfront. Your business purchases the electricity it uses from the system under the agreed contract.
Solar panels for factories, warehouses and cold stores
For manufacturers, on-site solar can support production electricity demand. Warehouses and distribution centres may offer substantial roof space, while cold storage and refrigeration sites can have significant ongoing electricity use. A commercial solar PPA assessment should match generation to the power your site actually needs.
Commercial rooftop solar can be worth exploring for manufacturers, warehouses, cold stores and other businesses with substantial electricity demand. Suitability depends on the usable roof area, roof condition, electricity consumption, property ownership or lease arrangements, and connection requirements.
We can discuss projects with the potential for 250 kW and above. The final system size and funding terms depend on a site assessment and the proposed agreement.
What we need to assess your site
- Your site address and details of the building.
- A recent electricity bill and, if available, half-hourly consumption data.
- Whether you own the property or lease it, and the remaining lease term.
- Information about the roof, operating hours and planned changes to the site.
Understand the agreement before committing
A proposal should explain the electricity price, contract duration, price adjustments, maintenance responsibilities and what happens at the end of the agreement. Any savings estimate should be based on your actual electricity use and the terms offered.
