Monetising Existing
Solar Assets

Unlocking capital while retaining the benefits of renewable energy

Make The Most Of Your Solar Assets

Has Your Solar Investment Become An Untapped Business Asset?

Many organisations invested in solar energy to reduce electricity costs, improve sustainability performance, and gain greater control over their energy future.

Those objectives remain as relevant today as they were when the systems were first installed.

However, for some businesses, the capital tied up within those assets could now be put to better use elsewhere. Whether funding growth, supporting investment priorities, improving cash flow, or strengthening the balance sheet, there are times when releasing capital becomes more valuable than retaining ownership of infrastructure.

Shawton Energy helps organisations unlock the value of existing solar assets while continuing to benefit from the renewable energy they generate..

Talk To Us

Retain The Benefit.
Release The Capital.

Traditionally, businesses had two choices, there’s now another option.

1

Continue to own and manage

Retain responsbility for maintenance, performance and long-term operation, with the cost that comes with it.

2

Dispose of the asset entirely

Lose the benefits of on-site generation, cost certainity, and sustainability credentials, as well as the asset.

3

A structured long-term Power Purchase Agreement agreement, with Shawton Energy

Shawton Energy can acquire ownership of the existing solar installation, releasing capital back into the business while continuing the supply the renewable electricity that’s generated on site.

The result is immediate access to capital, without losing the advantages that made the original investment attractive.

Benefiting From Solar

Why Monetise Your Solar Asset?

Get In Touch

Every organisation has different reasons for reviewing its renewable energy infrastructure. For some, the priority is releasing capital to invest elsewhere in the business. For others, it is reducing operational responsibility while transferring long-term performance risk to a specialist renewable energy partner.

Owning and operating renewable energy infrastructure requires ongoing management. Systems need monitoring, maintenance, performance optimisation, compliance oversight and long-term planning to continue delivering value. These responsibilities require specialist expertise, resource and ongoing investment throughout the asset’s lifetime.

By transferring ownership to Shawton Energy, organisations move from being infrastructure owners to energy users while continuing to benefit from the electricity generated on site. Internal teams can focus on core business activities while specialists manage long-term asset performance and operations.

Common Drivers Include

Releasing capital that’s tied up in infrastructure

Supporting business growth or investment plans

Improving cash flow and balance sheet flexbility

Reducing operational and maintenance responsibilities

Removing future performance and technology risks

Retaining access to lower-cost renewable electricity

The Process

01

Asset Review

We begin by conducting a comprehensive assessment of the existing installation. This includes reviewing system performance, equipment condition, maintenance records, operational history, and energy generation data.

Our objective is to gain a clear understanding of the asset’s current status and future potential.

02

Assessment

Our technical and commercial teams evaluate the asset’s performance, remaining operational life, and projected energy generation.

We also consider site- specific factors, electricity consumption patterns, and market conditions to determine the most appropriate investment structure and value proposition.

03

Modelling

Following our assessment, we provide a clear and transparent proposal outlining the capital available to be released from the asset, the structure of the agreement, and the ongoing electricity pricing arrangement.

We ensure all commercial terms are clearly presented, allowing stakeholders to make informed decisions with confidence.

04

Agreement

Once terms are agreed, we work closely with all stakeholders to manage a smooth transfer process.

Our team coordinates the contractual, technical, and operational transition, ensuring continuity of service and minimal impact on day-to-day operations throughout implementation.

05

Operation

Following completion of the transaction, Shawton Energy assumes responsibility for ownership, operation, maintenance, compliance, and performance management of the asset.

Through proactive monitoring and ongoing optimisation, we ensure the system continues to operate efficiently and deliver reliable renewable energy generation.
