Business Solar Panel Grants: How Sunpower Services Helps UK Businesses Go Solar for Free
When businesses search online for business solar panel grants they are often looking for ways to adopt renewable energy without the significant upfront costs. While traditional grants are limited or no longer widely available, Sunpower Services offers an alternative that achieves the same goal, free solar panels for eligible businesses through a Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA).
What is a CPPA and How Does It Work?
A Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA) is a financing solution that allows your business to enjoy the benefits of solar energy without paying for the installation. Here is how it works with Sunpower Services
- Free Installation. We install high quality solar panels on your roof at no cost.
- Low Cost Electricity. You purchase the electricity generated by the panels at a pre-agreed low rate, typically between £0.18 and £0.28 per kWh depending on the length of the agreement, from 10 to 25 years. This can be far cheaper than paying up to £0.35 per kWh from the grid.
- Maintenance Covered. Sunpower Services takes care of repairs and maintenance, ensuring your system runs smoothly with zero hassle.
This approach provides all the benefits of a traditional solar panel grant without requiring you to secure funding or navigate complex grant applications.
Are You Eligible for Free Solar Panels with Sunpower Services?
To qualify for a CPPA, our team will need to assess your site based on roof, property and electricity requirements
Roof Requirements
- Solid roof construction, for example profile metal cladding
- Remaining roof life of at least 20 years
- Broadly south facing, south east to south west is acceptable
- Minimal protrusions, such as chimneys, flues or ducts
- No shading from trees or tall buildings
- Ideally, no more than 20 per cent of the roof covered by roof lights
Property Requirements
- Located in England or Wales
- Not a listed building or in a conservation area
- You have control over the building to install solar panels, for example ownership or a long lease
Electricity Requirements
- Adequate existing electricity supply, ideally a minimum of 100 amp 3 phase
- No other solar panels connected to the same supply
- Minimum contract period of 10 years
- Wall space inside for small inverters, ideally not in a dusty or contaminated area
Ground Mounted Systems
If your roof is not suitable, we can also install ground mounted solar panels if you have outdoor space with no shading.
Why a CPPA is the Smart Choice for UK Businesses
While business solar panel grants might sound appealing, grants can be limited and complicated to secure. A CPPA removes those barriers, offering businesses
- No upfront cost for solar panel installation
- Predictable, lower energy costs over the agreement period
- Hassle free operation with all maintenance included
- Environmental benefits by switching to renewable energy and reducing your carbon footprint
