Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)
A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a smart, zero-risk way for businesses to switch to solar energy without spending any capital upfront.
Under a PPA, Solar Now designs, funds, installs, owns, operates, and maintains a solar PV system at your premises. You simply buy the electricity it produces β at a lower, predictable tariff than Eskom.
You get clean energy. Solar Now carries the cost, risk, and responsibility.
Simple. Structured. Business-friendly.
