What is Solar as a Service?
Solar as a Service is a form of Power Puchase Agreement that is considerably less onerous. No upfront investment is required and you pay a fixed price for your energy consumption.
You receive all the power whilst we take care of all operations and maintenance. No surprises or hidden costs – your price is fixed for the length of the contract.
The first cost you incur is the first monthly charge for the energy consumed.

Solar PPA Explainer
Solar PPA is an arrangement in which your business allows a company to install a solar system on the property. Instead of leasing or purchasing the system, the business owner only pays for the power they use. PPAs range in length, but they can be as long as the lifetime of the panels on the building.

Does solar produce energy on cloudy days?
What do you need from my business to get started?
To get the most accurate price for your energy needs, we need your 15/30 minute data from your energy provider. Alternatively, to get an estimate price, we can work with 12 month’s electricity bills. We also need the MIC and confirmation of your Eircode so we can determine your roof size. This information will allow our sales team to qualify your business & prepare a bespoke proposal.
What rate per kWh do you get for a solar PPA?
Rates differ for every customer based on system size, available roof space, type of roof structure and energy needs. We offer two pricing options: a Fixed Rate PPA with a consistent kWh rate over the contract term, or a Scaling PPA, which starts lower and increases gradually by 2–2.5% per year. Both options deliver immediate savings compared to grid energy rates.
