Commercial energy brokerage firm SGT has launched Solar as a Service, a fully financed solar power solution aimed at helping UK businesses reduce energy costs and carbon emissions without upfront capital expenditure.
Delivered through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), Solar as a Service enables companies to access clean, renewable electricity from on-site solar installations, fully funded, installed, and maintained by SGT. Businesses pay a guaranteed, fixed price per kilowatt-hour for the electricity generated over a 10-year term, with protection from RPI and wholesale energy price increases.
The model is designed for businesses wanting to decarbonise operations and improve energy resilience without incurring significant upfront costs or entering into long-term lease agreements. There is also no minimum usage commitment.
Andrew King, founder of SGT says, “Solar as a Service removes the barriers that many companies face when considering solar, namely high upfront costs, long ROI periods, and technical complexity. It gives businesses access to renewable energy with full transparency over savings and performance through our dedicated app and web portal.”
SGT also takes full responsibility for the solar system’s operation and maintenance throughout the contract. In the event of a fault or equipment failure under normal use, replacement components are provided at no extra cost, even in the final stages of the agreement.
The service is also compatible with battery storage solutions for businesses seeking to maximise self-consumption and grid independence.
Studies on commercial properties indicate that solar installations can see an uplift in value.
