Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) for Australian Businesses

Get Solar for Your Business with No Upfront Cost

High energy bills can eat into your profits, but switching to solar doesn’t have to be expensive. A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) allows your business to install solar panels with zero upfront investment—instead, you simply pay for the energy the system generates at a lower rate than grid electricity.

A PPA is a smart way for businesses to reduce energy costs, improve sustainability, and lock in predictable energy pricing—all without owning or maintaining the solar system.

How Does a PPA Work?

1️⃣ A solar provider installs and owns the solar system on your business premises.
2️⃣ You only pay for the electricity generated, usually at a lower rate than your current grid power.
3️⃣ The PPA lasts for a fixed term (e.g., 7–20 years), providing long-term energy savings.
4️⃣ At the end of the term, you can choose to buy the system, extend the agreement, or have it removed.

💡 No ownership responsibilities – The provider handles installation, maintenance, and performance monitoring, so you get the benefits of solar with zero hassle.

Benefits of a Power Purchase Agreement

✅ No Upfront Costs

Your business pays nothing for the solar system installation—just for the energy you use.

📉 Lower & Predictable Energy Bills

PPAs offer a fixed or reduced electricity rate, protecting your business from rising energy costs.

🌱 Boost Sustainability & ESG Credentials

Using solar reduces your carbon footprint, helping your business meet ESG goals and attract environmentally conscious customers.

⚡ Energy Security & Independence

Onsite solar generation reduces reliance on the grid, providing stable and reliable power.

🔧 No Maintenance Costs

The PPA provider is responsible for system maintenance, repairs, and performance monitoring—you just enjoy the savings.

Who Can Benefit from a Solar PPA?

✔️ Manufacturers & Warehouses – High daytime energy users can slash operating costs.
✔️ Retailers & Shopping Centers – Offset energy-intensive lighting, air conditioning, and refrigeration.
✔️ Hospitals & Aged Care Facilities – Reliable power at a reduced cost.
✔️ Hotels & Hospitality – Sustainable energy with no capital investment.
✔️ Agriculture & Cold Storage – Cut energy costs in operations that run 24/7.

What Happens at the End of a PPA?

At the end of the contract (typically 7–20 years), you have three options:

🔹 Buy the system at a reduced cost and continue using free solar energy.
🔹 Extend the PPA for continued low-cost energy.
🔹 Have the system removed if you no longer wish to use solar.
