Commercial Solar · Buy vs PPA

Buy outright or go PPA? See the real numbers.

Most PPA providers hide the maths and most installers just say "contact us". This shows both side by side for your site — upfront cost, annual saving, 25-year net benefit and who owns the asset.

Thanks — we're matching you to one MCS-certified commercial installer who can firm up these numbers for your site. Expect contact within one working day.
Estimates use 2026 UK figures (tiered £/kWp by system size, ~950 kWh/kWp/yr, sector-typical self-consumption, a PPA rate ~40% below grid, 50% first-year allowance at 25% corporation tax). Indicative only — your real figures depend on your load profile, roof and the PPA terms offered.
