Positive cash flow from Day One – no capital investment required
With a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), your business can install a solar system without spending a cent upfront – and start saving immediately. This financing model improves cash flow while making clean energy accessible and risk-free.
What is a PPA?
A PPA is a long-term electricity supply contract – typically lasting 10 to 25 years – that allows businesses to host a solar system on their property without owning or operating it.
We invest in, install, and maintain the system at our own cost. Your business simply purchases the electricity generated at a fixed, discounted rate – typically 20% or more below standard utility prices.

Who Choose a PPA?
1. Commercial buildings with over 200 sqm of roof space
Tenants save on electricity bills, while landlords gain a free solar system at the end of the contract – increasing property value.
2. High-energy industrial facilities
Ideal for manufacturers or warehouses looking to cut energy costs with clean power.
3. Farms with large roofs and stable electricity demand
A cost-effective way to lower energy expenses with zero upfront investment.
Take advantage of substantial electricity savings during the day with the energy produced by your solar system.
Using renewable energy to supply 20-80% of your electricity can greatly decrease your carbon footprint.
We handle system monitoring, maintenance, and upgrades as needed – all you do is pay for the power produced.
Unused electricity won’t go to waste – it can be exported to the grid and sold at high rates. With Pinergy, you can earn up to €0.25/kWh, turning surplus energy into extra income.
Cash flow limitations can hinder organizations from switching to solar energy. With PPAs, there’s no upfront cost, and the system doesn’t appear as an asset on your balance sheet.
Once your PPA term ends, we transfer ownership of the system to your organization at no cost. From then on, all the power generated is yours for free!
More PPA Case Studies
Many of our clients utilise PPAs to adopt solar and storage without incurring upfront costs. Here are a few of their stories.
Frequently Asked Questions
A PPA is a long-term contract between a power producer and a buyer, allowing the buyer to purchase electricity at predetermined rates. It often enables businesses to install renewable energy systems like solar panels without upfront costs.
PPAs are suitable for businesses of various sizes, ranging from small enterprises to large corporations. The reasons why organisations might prefer a PPA to purchasing a solar system outright vary, but the scalability and flexibility of these agreements make them adaptable to different energy requirements and business needs. For smaller businesses, solar PPAs provide an opportunity to access solar energy without the upfront costs, enabling cost savings and sustainability. Larger businesses can benefit from the added advantages of battery storage integration, such as energy resilience, time-of-use optimisation, and increased control over their energy supply.
No, you do not need to own your premises to consider a PPA, but it is ideal to have long-term tenancy of your site. If your business leases the site from a landlord, the first step to solar is asking permission from your landlord to make sure they will allow the installation to occur. This should be further formalised in a Letter of Consent (LOC) as well as an amendment to the main lease, or letter of amendment (LOA) to state what happens in the case of the lease expiry or lease termination. This would refer to making good of the property, a condition that would already exist in the main lease.
Once you have an in-principle agreement around the LOC and LOA you are then free to move on to the next step. These letters can be formalised down the track once you have approved the business case for the solar system.
For organisations that want to derive even more value from their solar PPA, battery storage systems are becoming a must-have complementary technology. By integrating battery storage into the equation, the overall system offers:
Increased energy reliability: Battery storage ensures a continuous and reliable energy supply, even during grid outages or periods of low solar generation. Stored energy acts as a backup power source, providing businesses with energy resilience and minimising disruptions to operations.
Optimised cost savings: By utilising stored energy during peak demand periods, businesses can reduce or eliminate costly demand charges. Battery storage allows businesses to maximise their solar energy utilisation, further optimising cost savings and increasing the financial returns of their PPA investments.
Enhanced energy independence: Battery storage empowers businesses to become more energy independent by reducing their reliance on grid electricity. By storing excess solar energy, businesses can decrease their dependence on fossil fuel-based grid energy and contribute to a greener, more sustainable future.
It is possible to add battery storage to an existing PPA, and indeed many organisations take a two-staged approach to their renewable energy adoption.
There is a caveat, however, in that it is essential to review the terms and conditions of your current agreement to ensure compatibility and consider any necessary amendments. This can become complex, so it might be a good idea to consult with a trusted solar energy provider with experience in battery storage integration when assessing the feasibility of adding batteries to your existing PPA.
Under a PPA, a third-party provider installs and maintains the renewable energy system on your property. You buy the generated electricity at aset rate,~20% lower than traditional grid prices.
Benefits include zero upfront costs, predictable energy pricing,reduced electricity bills, and access to renewable energy without theresponsibility ofsystem ownership and maintenance.
Yes, PPAs typically have contract terms ranging from 10 to 25 years, although specific terms can vary based on the provider and the project. Ours
are generally 10-15 years.
