CAPEX Solar Investment
Maximum Long-Term Return On Investment
For organisations seeking maximum lifetime value, outright ownership remains one of the most attractive options.
​
With a CAPEX-funded solar installation, your business purchases the system directly and benefits from:
​
✔ Full Ownership Of The Asset
✔ Maximum Lifetime Financial Return
✔ Reduced Electricity Costs
✔ Improved Asset Value
✔ Long-Term Energy Security
✔ Potential Tax Advantages
​
This option is particularly attractive for businesses with available capital seeking strong long-term returns.
Business Solar Finance
Spread Costs While Retaining The Benefits
Many businesses prefer to preserve working capital while still benefiting from renewable energy generation.
Through business asset finance solutions, the cost of installation can be spread over an agreed period through structured payments. Benefits include:
​
✔ Preserve Cash Flow
✔ Spread Capital Expenditure
✔ Potential Tax Efficiencies
✔ Immediate Energy Savings
✔ Reduced Upfront Investment
✔ Flexible Funding Structures
​
This allows organisations to begin benefiting from solar generation without a significant initial capital outlay.
Power Purchase Agreements (PPA)
Commercial Solar With Zero Upfront Capital Investment
A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) offers one of the most compelling routes into commercial solar. Under a PPA arrangement:
​
-
A third-party investor funds the solar installation
-
The system is installed on your roof at no upfront cost
-
Your business purchases the generated electricity at a pre-agreed discounted rate
-
The investor owns and maintains the system
​
Benefits include:
​
✔ Zero Upfront Capital Cost
✔ Immediate Electricity Savings
✔ Reduced Exposure To Energy Price Increases
✔ No Equipment Ownership Responsibilities
✔ Improved Sustainability Credentials
✔ Long-Term Cost Certainty
​
​For many organisations, PPAs provide a low-risk route to renewable energy adoption while preserving capital for core business operations.

Solar can help reduce operating costs across:
​
-
Dairy Farms

Poultry Units

Livestock Facilities

Grain Storage Buildings
