Here to help businesses save money

We can help your business to benefit from reduced electricity bills by utilising no cost, clean, green solar electricity agreements, whilst preserving your capital for use within your core business. At Homeco Energy, we manage and develop commercial solar PV projects across the country in partnership with our investors.

Backed by a long-term operation and maintenance service, we will ensure that your system will deliver reliable savings not just today, but for at least the next 25 years.

How it works:
  • You agree to lease the airspace above your property's roof for 25 years and enter into a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)
  • We install a complete  solar PV system on your roof FREE OF CHARGE
  • You will pay a low rate per unit of solar electricity that you use
  • We will monitor, maintain and insure the solar system for 25 years at NO COST to you

How you benefit:

Free Solar PV System The Solar PV system is fully funded
Immediate Savings on electricity bills Solar Electricity you consume is purchased at a cheaper rate than is available from your current energy provider
Zero Cost ‘green’ credentials A zero capital route to improving your company’s environmental responsibility, enhancing relations with green thinking customers, suppliers and staff
No Maintenance or insurance costs We proactively manage the system under a long term operation and maintenance contract including the provision of insurance cover, at no cost to you
Long term protection against energy markets The unit price you pay for electricity generated by the solar PV system will only rise inline with RPI, allowing you to budget more effectively
Fully transferable The PPA can be transferred to new occupants of the property should you move to new premises
Year 1 Over 25 years
Immediate Savings on electricity bills £3.600 £479,000
Carbon Reductions 88 tonnes of C02e 4,558 tonnes C02e

Typical savings you can expect to achieve

In conjunction with our investment partners, Zestec Assest Management, we will fully fund the entire installation of the solar PV system. Your business benefits by consuming the discounted solar electricity which is generated. After 25 years ownership of the system transfers to you and you enjoy free solar electricity for the remaining life of the system. 

Immediate bottom line savings on energy costs and carbon emission reductions
A typical 250kW installations, based upon 90% on site usage, with a PPA rate of 9p (2.5% RPI) against your providers rate of 12.90Pn (5.7% price inflation) will be expected to deliver the figures shown here.

Keeping the process simple, transparent and hassle free

  • We assess your rood space and gather data regarding your current energy usage and pricing
  • We provide you with a costed proposal demonstrating potential savings and carbon reduction forecasts
  • You agree to lease the airspace above your roof to us and enter into a PPA 
  • We install the solar PV system on your roof, aiming for minimal disruption
  • You can then enjoy reduced electricity bills for up to 25 years with no maintenance costs
  • After 25 years have elapsed, ownership of the system transfers to you
Can your business take advantage of a PPA?
To achieve maximum electricity bill savings and carbon emission reductions, your business should:
  • Own a building with an un-shaded roof which is structurally sound and in a good state or repair. Ground-mounted options are available
  • Purchase a minimum of 80,000kWh’s of electricity per annum which is consumed on a regular daily pattern
  • Be financially stable with a strong credit rating

Your roof is in safe hands
When we install a solar PV system, we recognise that we are being trusted with one of our clients' major assets, the roof of their building.
On behalf of our investors, we are responsible for our solar PV systems for at least 25 years, so it is in our interest to install high quality products and components.  All equipment is supported by robust product warranties and performance guarantees provided by leading manufacturers.

Start saving today
Government data indicates that average electricity prices in the industrial sector are rising by 5.7% per annum, that equates to your bill doubling every 14 years.

As fossil fuels become harder to source and with an ageing UK electricity infrastructure requiring significant expenditure to meet the country’s future needs, even the most conservative observers do no expect this trend to improve in the future.

FAQ

  • What happens if we need to repair our roof?

    If any roof repairs require the solar panels to be removed, we will come to remove them at our cost. You will pay the costs of the roof repairs, unless the issue was caused by the solar system, in which case we will cover the costs.

  • I have a mortgage, do I need to inform my lender?

    Yes. We require consent before a system can be installed.

  • What happens if we sell our property?

    Your agreements and its benefits will transfer to the new owner.

  • Can I buy the system from you?

    Yes. You have the option to purchase the system from us. The price will be set out in your agreement and you can buy at any time in your 25-year agreement.

  • What is the cost/savings of electricity?

    Typically we save property owners 10-30% on their electricity tariff. The starting tariff is adjusted annually against the Retail Price Index (RPI).

  • What happens if the system breaks down or has a fault?

    We monitor your system, and if an issue occurs we will come to resolve it. We use high-quality components so the risk of faults is kept to a minimum.

  • Does my property need to meet any criteria?

    Your property needs an energy efficiency rating of 'D' or better. Since 2018 it has become illegal to install a system on properties with an 'E' rating or lower.

  • I am a commercial landlord with tenants. Can I still benefit?

    Yes, but you must make your tenants aware of the project and gain their approval. Contact our team to discuss specific requirements.
