Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PPA?
A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a contract where a funder owns the solar system on your property and you buy the electricity it produces at an agreed rate — typically 20-30% below your current tariff.
What if I want to buy the system later?
Most funded agreements include a buyout option after a defined period (typically 7-10 years) at a pre-agreed price.
Does my business qualify for funded solar?
Funded solar typically requires a minimum monthly electricity spend of R100,000+, a structurally suitable roof or land, and a creditworthy business entity.
What happens at the end of the agreement?
Options typically include renewal at a reduced rate, system purchase at residual value, or system removal at no cost to you.
