Carbon Free Solar has partnered with some of the UK’s leading financial institutions to offer competitive finance offer for solar panels and other clean energy technologies. This includes asset finance, HP and a power purchase agreement (PPA). We will always ensure you receive the best advice possible.

 

As part of our consultative approach, we will also offer guidance and information about the grants available for your business.

SELF FUNDING

This is the most popular way of funding a new renewable energy system for your business. This type of funding will deliver the best financial returns over the lifetime of a renewable energy system and will reduce your payback period considerably.

ASSET FINANCE

Asset finance allows you to acquire an asset without the need for a big capital outlay, you can use the assets that you already own to raise the capital.

 

Asset finance can also deliver significant cash flow and tax benefits for your businesses. In some cases, your asset finance payments will be less than the savings being generated from the renewable energy asset, which means your business could be cash positive from day one.

POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENTS

A power purchase agreement (PPA) is a contractual agreement between two parties for the purchase of electricity. The funder funds the installation of the solar system, and the customer purchases the electricity from the funder. 

 

PPA’s allow customers to install a solar system without having to worry about finding any upfront capital. The funder will contract us to design, install, maintain and manage the system for the duration of the contract. The customer will contract with the funder to purchase the electricity used from the solar system at an agreed rate (pence/kWh).

 

This will mean that the customer will pay much less for their electricity, reducing their overall energy spend. They will also benefit from producing less carbon from their operation.

THE PROCESS

Our main priority is to provide the customer with the very best solution that meets their needs.

  • Business Insight Phase

    We want to understand your business, which will allow us to design the best solution for you. To do this effectively we will arrange a convenient meeting to discuss how your business works and how the cost of energy impacts on it.

  • Data Analysis Phase

    We completely analyse your consumption data to fully understand your usage profile. To complete this part of the process we will either use your half hourly consumption data or use your 12 months bills combined with insight gathered in the business insight phase. 

  • Design Phase

    We will design the most efficient system to meet your exact requitement, ensuring that you benefit from as much solar generation as possible. This means that you will reduce your reliance on imported electricity from the grid and use as much of the less expensive power from the solar system.

  • Contract Phase

    We will send you a full proposal that describes the system design, forecasted savings and the option of choosing a fixed tariff or an index linked tariff. If you are happy to proceed, we will create a legal pack for you to review.

  • Construction Phase

    The solution delivery will be planned around your operational requirements, ensuring there is minimal impact on your business. The installation will be completed using high quality materials and equipment in line with all technical and safety legislation.
