Our Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is consumption-based, meaning the only charge is for the electricity consumed – at a price that is fixed for the duration of the agreement.
No minimum take, no roof lease, no standardised contract term.
Our PPA
Our Pricing Models
Fixed Rate PPA
Price remains fixed for the full term of the agreement. Provides the strongest full-term financial benefit, securing a rate now that will offer ever increasing savings as grid rates rise.
Scaling PPA Rate
A lower starting price which increases at a fixed percentage per annum. Provides greater short-term financial benefit and fully predictable pricing for the full term. Ideal for businesses looking to maximise short-term savings.
Built for simplicity
There’s no roof lease to navigate – we simply require access for installation and ongoing maintenance. As both the energy supplier and the funder, we contract directly with you, meaning the PPA sits with UrbanVolt alone.
The result is a straightforward agreement, not a corporate rulebook. Fewer parties, less complexity, and a cleaner path to decarbonisation and reduced energy bills.
Leaseholder or Landlord? No problem.
Whether you’re a tenant or a landlord, we make it easy to move forward with our PPA – without complicated ownership or lease arrangements.
Aligned Contract Terms
We work directly with both tenants and landlords, structuring agreements that align with how your property is occupied and managed. Our contracts run from 10 to 30 years and can be tailored to match lease terms, giving all parties clarity and long-term confidence from day one.
Flexible Novation
Flexibility is built in. Ownership of the solar array can be transferred at any point during the agreement or at the end of the term. Contracts can be assigned in full to a new owner, tenant, or landlord if circumstances change.
Landlord Collaboration
We also actively collaborate with landlords to clearly demonstrate the value solar brings to their assets – from reduced energy costs through fixed rates, to improved EPC ratings that enhance a building’s appeal to buyers and tenants alike.

FAQs
What is ‘Solar as a Service?’
To us, it means standing behind our work and guaranteeing the outcomes for business owners like you. It allows access to innovative solar technology that can be paid for in a way that makes sense to your business. It also represents an ongoing commitment – we will finance, install, maintain the equipment, actively monitor performance, and be there before something goes wrong.
For you, it means tackling your sustainability goals faster. Technology for panels is evolving so rapidly and by availing of the as a service model, it means you will always have access to quality & innovation.
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?
People often ask what happens to energy production from our solar on cloudy days. On a typical clear, sunny day, the system’s power graph forms a bell curve with the highest energy production around noon, when the sunshine is greatest. On a cloudy day, the sun’s rays make their way through rain and clouds and power production is still quite high. The amount of electricity generated is dependent on the density of cloud coverage but ultimately – yes solar still produces energy on cloudy days (good news for us in Ireland!)
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.
