What is Solar-as-a-Service (SolaaS)?
SolaaS is a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) designed to take the burden of solar installation and maintenance off your shoulders. But how does it work? At Fidelity we install, own, and maintain high-quality solar panels on your business property. You simply pay for the solar energy you use at a fixed, guaranteed rate with no upfront costs or maintenance worries.
Key Features
- Zero Capital (CAPEX) or Operational (OPEX) Cost: Your business avoids expensive upfront payments or ongoing maintenance costs.
- Fixed Energy Rates for 10+ Years: Stable energy prices without having to worry about inflation or market fluctuations.
- No Usage Commitment: Need to scale up or down? There’s flexibility should the operations on site change.
- Top-Quality Equipment & Maintenance: You only pay for energy when the system is running. We’ll handle all maintenance and equipment replacement.
- Real-Time Carbon Reporting: The ability to track your solar output and carbon savings easily via an app or web portal, helping you meet your sustainability goals.
- Property Value Boost: Installing solar panels can increase your commercial property value by around 4.5%.
- Seamless Landlord Collaboration: If you lease your site, we work directly with property owners for smooth installation and management.
- Roof Work Included: If your roof needs repairs before solar installation, we can cover these costs within the agreement.
