Frequently Asked Questions – Power Purchase Agreements (PPA)

What is a Solar Power Purchase Agreement?

A Solar PPA is a long-term agreement where your business purchases the energy generated by an on-site solar system at a fixed rate. ARC Renewables installs, owns, and maintains the system, allowing you to access renewable energy with no upfront investment.

How does a PPA reduce my energy costs?

With a PPA, you pay a pre-agreed rate for the electricity produced by the solar system. This rate is typically lower than standard grid prices, helping reduce operational costs and improving long-term financial predictability.

Do I need to pay anything upfront?

No. One of the main advantages of a PPA is that ARC Renewables covers the full cost of system design, installation, and maintenance. Your business only pays for the energy generated.

Who owns the solar system under a PPA?

ARC Renewables retains ownership of the equipment throughout the contract term. Your business benefits by purchasing the electricity produced at a fixed, lower-rate cost, without the responsibilities of ownership.

What contract length is typical for a PPA?

PPA contracts generally run between 15 and 25 years. ARC Renewables will help you choose a contract length that aligns with your site plans, operational needs, and long-term energy strategy.

What happens at the end of the PPA term?

You can choose to extend the agreement, purchase the system at a discounted rate, or request system removal. ARC Renewables will walk you through each option as your term approaches its end.

Is my property suitable for a Solar PPA?

Suitability depends on roof condition, available space, orientation, shading, and your energy consumption profile. ARC Renewables conducts a detailed site assessment to confirm feasibility before proceeding.

Will installation interrupt my business operations?

In most cases, no. ARC Renewables plans and executes installations around your operational needs to ensure minimal disruption. Most commercial systems can be installed while your business runs as usual.

Who handles system maintenance and performance?

ARC Renewables manages all ongoing maintenance, monitoring, and system optimisation throughout the contract term. This ensures consistent performance and reduces any operational burden on your team.

Can a PPA help with sustainability and ESG goals?

Yes. A PPA enables your business to directly reduce carbon emissions and increase renewable energy use. This supports corporate sustainability reporting, ESG frameworks, and broader UK environmental goals.

Is a PPA suitable for businesses with variable energy needs?

PPAs work best for businesses with steady, year-round electricity demand. ARC Renewables will assess your consumption patterns to determine the optimal system size and financial structure.
