Commercial Solar Power Purchase Agreements for Welsh Businesses
Go solar with no capital outlay โ we install the panels, you buy the electricity at a fixed rate below your current tariff. Day one savings, zero risk.
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 20โ40% 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
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.
Immediate Cost Reduction
From the day your system goes live you pay less per kWh than your current grid rate โ typically 20โ40% less, fixed for the duration of your agreement.
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.
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.
Meet Sustainability Targets
Reduce your Scope 2 carbon emissions, achieve sustainability KPIs, and demonstrate clean energy credentials to customers, investors and lenders.
Off Balance Sheet

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:
-
Manufacturing & Industrial
High daytime energy usage and large roof areas make manufacturing sites ideal PPA candidates โ often the largest savings.
-
Offices & Commercial Premises
Office buildings with consistent occupancy hours can offset a significant proportion of their energy with rooftop solar.
-
Agriculture & Rural Estates
Farm buildings with large unshaded roof space are excellent solar candidates โ and PPAs free up capital for the farm itself.
-
Retail & Logistics
Warehouse and retail park roofs are often ideal for large-scale solar โ and PPA agreements can cover multiple sites.
-
Healthcare & Education
NHS trusts, private healthcare and schools often use PPAs to meet sustainability targets without capital budget pressure.
