What Is a Solar Power Purchase Agreement?

A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a long-term solar finance arrangement where Celtic Green Energy installs, owns and maintains a solar panel system on your commercial property โ€” at no cost to your business.

In return, you agree to purchase the electricity the system generates at a fixed rate, typically 20โ€“40% below your current grid tariff. You get immediate savings, we get a long-term energy partner.

In short: your roof generates the energy, we own the system, you pay less for your electricity โ€” guaranteed for the duration of the agreement.

At the end of the agreement term, you can extend, renegotiate, or purchase the system outright โ€” typically at well below market value.

The Benefits of a Commercial Solar PPA

๐Ÿ’ท

Zero Capital Outlay

No upfront investment required. Celtic Green Energy funds, installs and owns the system โ€” you simply pay for the electricity you use at a lower rate.

๐Ÿ“‰

Immediate Cost Reduction

From the day your system goes live you pay less per kWh than your current grid rate โ€” typically 20โ€“40% less, fixed for the duration of your agreement.

๐Ÿ”’

Fixed Rate, No Surprises

Your PPA rate is fixed and predictable. While grid energy prices rise, your solar electricity cost stays stable โ€” protecting your business from energy price volatility.

๐Ÿ”ง

Fully Maintained by Us

We own the system so we maintain it. All servicing, monitoring, insurance and repairs are our responsibility โ€” zero operational burden on your team.

๐ŸŒฟ

Meet Sustainability Targets

Reduce your Scope 2 carbon emissions, achieve sustainability KPIs, and demonstrate clean energy credentials to customers, investors and lenders.

๐Ÿ“Š

Off Balance Sheet

A PPA is typically classified as an operating expense, not a capital liability โ€” keeping your balance sheet clean and preserving credit lines for core business investment.

Is a Solar PPA Right for Your Business?

A commercial PPA works best for businesses with a large roof space, consistent daytime energy usage, and a desire to reduce costs without capital expenditure. Ideal sectors include:

  • ๐Ÿญ
    Manufacturing & Industrial

    High daytime energy usage and large roof areas make manufacturing sites ideal PPA candidates โ€” often the largest savings.

  • ๐Ÿข
    Offices & Commercial Premises

    Office buildings with consistent occupancy hours can offset a significant proportion of their energy with rooftop solar.

  • ๐ŸŒพ
    Agriculture & Rural Estates

    Farm buildings with large unshaded roof space are excellent solar candidates โ€” and PPAs free up capital for the farm itself.

  • ๐Ÿฌ
    Retail & Logistics

    Warehouse and retail park roofs are often ideal for large-scale solar โ€” and PPA agreements can cover multiple sites.

  • ๐Ÿฅ
    Healthcare & Education

    NHS trusts, private healthcare and schools often use PPAs to meet sustainability targets without capital budget pressure.

Typical PPA Eligibility Criteria

Commercial or industrial property with suitable roof space
Annual electricity spend of ยฃ10,000 or more
Business has been trading for 3+ years
Property is owned or long-leased (10+ years remaining)
Roof is south, east or west facing and reasonably unshaded
Business has good credit standing
