Q1: What are the contract terms for your solar installations? A: Our typical contract term is 25 years, unless terminated early.
Q2: Do I need to lease my roof for the solar installation? A: No, leasing your roof is not required with Electron Green’s solution. After reaching an agreement with you, we will assist in obtaining any necessary consents, including those from your landlord. If you own the building or it belongs to a company within your group, obtaining consent is straightforward.
Q3: Is the cost of solar electricity consistently lower than grid electricity? A: Yes, our prices remain fixed and unaffected by inflation or electricity market fluctuations. This means that, especially given the current UK inflation rates, your price for electricity from us will actually decrease over the contract’s duration. It’s worth noting that electricity price inflation in the UK has exceeded 10% annually since 2007, according to government statistics.
Q4: How can Electron Green provide a free solar system? A: Our business model relies on revenue generated by selling electricity to you, our ability to purchase equipment at scale, and our access to low-cost financing. This enables us to recover our investment in the solar PV system over its lifetime.
Q5: Can you provide performance data and emissions reports? A: Certainly, our reporting system offers data on daily, weekly, monthly, and annual electricity generation. You can use this information for carbon emissions reporting, demonstrating the environmental benefits of using solar electricity.
Q6: Will all generated electricity be utilized? A: It depends on your business’s nature. Some surplus electricity may be exported to the grid during periods when your operations are closed, such as holidays. We manage this process and size the system to optimize its benefits for your specific needs.
Q7: Is planning permission required for installation? A: For most commercial solar PV systems under 1 MWp, you can install them under permitted development rights without needing planning permission. Electron Green will assist you with any planning applications if necessary.
Q8: Are there any upfront costs for installation? A: No, there is no initial capital investment required from you. You only pay for the electricity you use from the solar PV system, while all construction and maintenance costs are covered by Electron Green.
Q9: How will the installation process be managed? A: Electron Green manages the entire process, from pre-construction to commissioning. Our project managers oversee all aspects of the installation, keeping you informed throughout.
Q10: What is the expected impact of solar on energy usage? A: Typically, our customers experience a reduction of 15% to 30% in their electricity usage from their supplier due to the solar PV system.
Q11: How much energy will my solar system generate? A: Each solar PV system is individually designed, considering factors like geographical location, roof orientation, and pitch. Our advanced software analyzes these variables and provides forecasts, accounting for panel degradation over time.
Q12: What is the appropriate system size for my business? A: We conduct a comprehensive analysis of your electricity consumption to closely match the system size with your usage profile, maximizing the benefits.
Q13: How will the system’s maintenance be ensured? A: We use top-tier equipment and cover the solar system’s maintenance costs throughout the contract. We also monitor the system remotely to maintain optimal performance, promptly addressing any issues.
