Benefits
Commercial Solar Benefits
Direct Cost Reduction
Commercial systems generate significant electricity during business hours — often when a business uses the most power. Typical savings range from 40–70% on electricity costs depending on usage profile and system size.
Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) Income
Surplus energy exported to the grid earns you a payment per kWh. This applies to business premises just as it does to residential properties.
Enhanced Capital Allowances
Commercial solar installations may qualify for enhanced capital allowances or other tax incentives. We recommend speaking to your accountant to confirm your eligibility.
Corporate Sustainability
Reducing your scope 2 carbon emissions with on-site renewable generation supports sustainability reporting, ESG commitments, and client tender requirements in regulated sectors.

Finance for Commercial Solar
We offer:

- Solar rental for qualifying premises
POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENT
No Upfront Cost? Consider A Power Purchase Agreement
A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is an alternative to purchasing your solar system outright. Instead of buying the system, you agree to purchase the electricity it generates at a fixed rate — typically lower than the grid — for a contract period of between 10 and 30 years.
HelpinU Solar installs and maintains the system on your premises at no upfront cost to you. You simply pay for the energy produced.
Why Businesses Choose A PPA
