Funding
We provide a range of funding structures for commercial renewable energy projects. This key part of the commercialisation process can involve different forms of funding, ranging from clients wishing to mitigate risk, via a joint venture, or a combination of both.
We Offer Three Types of Funding
Power Purchase Agreement
Direct Investment
Asset Finance
Capital Free, Fully Funded PPA
Shawton Energy will coordinate the financing, assess your organisation’s needs, design, construct and install your system, and then maintain and monitor its performance – all at no cost to you.
Why our clients choose PPA
The PPA term is typically up to 25 years.
The price of the power purchased is fixed and will increase annually at the rate of the Retail Price Index (RPI).
Monthly Invoicing and performance reports.
System sizes under 1MW are permitted development (unless on a listed building or in a conservation area).
There are no initial maintenance, refurbishment or roof upgrade costs.
We will insure the system at no cost to you.
The rights and title to the system will pass to you upon completion of the PPA term.
The system is monitored and maintained for the full duration of the agreement, at no cost to you.
Other Forms of Funding
For organisations who want to attain full control we can offer
Direct Investment
Large Energy Savings
Full Ownership
Smart Export Guarantee
Shawton Energy also helps clients who are seeking to purchase a solar PV system or associated technologies outright by deploying their own capital, applying the same quality approach and rigour as we do to our own assets deployed via a PPA.
A capital purchase option accelerates the return on investment over a fully funded system, but does attract two other ancillary challenges:
- A likely increase in business rates. (This does not apply to the PPA solution, as the business does not ‘own’ the asset)
- The ongoing monitoring, maintenance, insurance and management of the asset.

Asset Finance

Energy Efficiency
Simple Loan Repayments
Additional Savings
We are also able to offer an Asset Finance option to fund your Solar PV system. There are a number of options, including Lease Purchase and Lease Hire, under which this can be agreed, which we would be happy to discuss with you.
Many organisations that invest in a solar system do not always appreciate the maintenance and support required to maximise the lifetime efficiency of the asset. Crucially there may come a point where the business wishes to refinance the asset as it requires capital for other reasons; only a well-maintained asset will be attractive.
For this reason Shawton Energy incorporate an operational maintenance agreement on all assets, giving clients maximum performance and peace of mind for the future.
