Solar Panel Purchase Agreements For Schools and Colleges
Our PPA service ensures that educational institutions can benefit without any upfront capital investment. We cover 100% of the costs associated with installation and ongoing maintenance.
Our PPA arrangements remain in effect for 25 years, providing a long-term solution to significantly minimising energy costs. Once the contract expires, educational institutions can retain their solar panel installations at no extra cost, allowing for the continuation of reduced energy costs for a further 10 to 15 years on average.
