Getting started

With over 14 years’ experience in the successful delivery of commercial solar panel systems, we can help you every step of the way with our range of services.

Consulting

As your renewable energy experts, we are here to support your business to become more sustainable. At Custom Solar we provide a full turnkey approach, taking you through every step of the project from start to finish.

We begin by understanding your specific requirements and challenges, to establish a strong business case for your solar project and identify the right finance model to ensure its successful delivery.

This stage includes feasibility studies and initial assessments to benchmark your organisation’s energy consumption, cost saving goals, and to evaluate available space for solar panel installation, including location, shading and orientation.

Finance solutions to suit your needs

Our financial analysis will calculate expected costs, savings, payback period and return on investment for your solar project. We help you understand any potential financial incentives, tax benefits and financing options to help offset your initial investment costs.

Self-financing commonly offers the best returns, however, we appreciate that not all clients have available capital. Working with select partners we offer the following alternatives:

A Power Purchase Agreement, or PPA, allows your business to secure a portion of its annual electricity consumption from solar power, with zero upfront costs.

We plan, develop, construct and connect a solar system designed specifically for your business and you will be charged a fixed, or index-linked rate for the electricity generated and consumed over a pre-agreed contract term (typically 10, 15, 20 or 25 years).

With solar asset finance your business can benefit from solar power without paying the upfront costs. Paying regular instalments suits some businesses more than making the capital outlay. Savings generally outweigh the repayments, meaning that a cash positive business case can still be achieved.

Choosing between purchasing a solar PV system or opting for a funded solution depends on your business’s long-term strategy and appetite for capital expenditure. If the financial resources are available to invest in solar, then you can typically see a return on investment in under 5 years.
