Power Your Customers With Solar as a Service
Solar as a Service is a form of Power Purchase Agreement that is considerably less onerous. No upfront investment is required and the customer pays a fixed price for their energy consumption.
The customer receives all the power whilst UrbanVolt takes care of all operations and maintenance.
No surprises or hidden costs – the price is fixed for the length of the contract. The first cost the customer incurs is the first monthly charge for the energy consumed.

FAQs
How does a PPA help me close leads my clients can’t fund?
UrbanVolt provides the full funding for the solar system – backed by HSBC with €40m ready to deploy into UK projects. Instead of asking your client to invest capital in a solar system, you can offer them a fixed electricity rate 30 to 40% below the grid, with no upfront cost and no asset on their balance sheet. Leads that stall on budget become live projects; you build and install the system, UrbanVolt funds and manages the contract.
What site and roof criteria make a project eligible?
UrbanVolt looks for sites with annual electricity usage above 100,000 kWh, a roof in good structural condition with at least 500m² of usable space free of significant shading, and a client who owns the building or holds a lease of ten or more years. The client also needs a stable credit profile to support a long-term energy services agreement. If you are unsure whether your project qualifies, input the design details into the partner portal and we will give you an indicative answer in seconds.
How does yield modelling work within a PPA structure?
UrbanVolt uses site-specific irradiance data, real shading analysis, and P90 methodology — meaning the yield we commit to is one the system will achieve 90% of the time. We model self-consumption against the client’s actual consumption profile, and we apply conservative degradation assumptions over the contract term.
Who owns the system and who handles maintenance?
UrbanVolt owns the solar asset for the full duration of the PPA contract. We are responsible for all maintenance, repairs, performance monitoring, and insurance on the system throughout the agreement. The client pays only for the electricity the system generates. At the end of the contract term, ownership can be transferred to the client for a nominal fee, the agreement can be extended, or the system can be removed.
Can battery storage be included in a funded solar deal?
UrbanVolt can structure battery storage alongside solar for sites where BESS delivers clear financial benefit – typically those with significant peak demand charges, restricted grid export, or consumption profiles that limit solar self-consumption rates. Where storage does not stack up financially, we will say so rather than add technology that increases cost without proportionate benefit.
