Solar & Battery PPAs: The Smart Choice for Commercial Businesses

As energy costs continue to rise, commercial businesses in the UK are looking for ways to cut electricity bills while reducing their carbon footprint. One solution gaining popularity is the Solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with battery storage — a cost-effective way to benefit from renewable energy without upfront investment.

At SMART CTRL Ltd, we help businesses unlock the financial and environmental benefits of solar and battery PPAs, tailored to your energy needs.


What is a Solar & Battery PPA?

A Solar PPA is an agreement where a third-party company installs, owns, and maintains a solar PV system on your property. Your business then buys the electricity generated at a fixed, discounted rate, typically lower than your current utility prices.

Adding battery storage maximizes the value of your solar system by:

  • Storing excess energy generated during the day for use in the evening or during peak demand.
  • Reducing grid reliance, especially during high electricity price periods.
  • Smoothing energy costs, protecting your business from future price increases.

With a solar + battery PPA, your business enjoys immediate savings, predictable energy costs, and sustainable energy generation, all without the hassle or upfront cost of system ownership.


Benefits of Solar & Battery PPAs for Commercial Customers

  1. No Upfront Capital Required
    You don’t buy or maintain the system — the provider covers installation, maintenance, and monitoring.
  2. Reduced Energy Bills
    Solar electricity is cheaper than grid power, and battery storage increases self-consumption.
  3. Sustainability and ESG
    Demonstrate your commitment to renewable energy and carbon reduction to customers, investors, and regulators.
  4. Predictable Energy Costs
    Fixed PPA rates provide stability against rising energy prices.
  5. Scalable Solutions
    Systems can be sized to meet a portion or all of your business’s energy demand, with batteries enhancing efficiency.
