Solar as a Service

UrbanVolt’s Solar as a Service offering provides businesses with access to rooftop solar installations without any upfront costs or complexities.

We handle the cost, design, installation, and maintenance, allowing you to pay only for the energy you use from the solar panels.

Immediate savings. Long-term certainty. 100% hassle-free.

Pricing

At UrbanVolt, we offer two pricing models under our Solar as a Service solution, giving you the flexibility to choose what works best for your business. Both options give you access to clean, renewable energy with zero upfront costs. We design, install, and maintain the solar system — you simply pay for the energy you use.

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 2.5% 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.

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.
