Solar PPA: Solar Power Purchase Agreements (PPA's) for Rooftop Solar Rental in Cape Town Metro

Become Energy Independent Today

A solar PPA gives you access to solar energy without upfront costs. With a solar rental agreement, you get a complete rooftop solar PV system installed on your site. The PPA provider owns the solar system and sells the power generated at a fixed rate. You lower your electricity bill while supporting clean energy. This model has become a standard solar financing tool across South Africa. A solar PPA is ideal for homes and businesses that want predictable energy pricing and long-term savings without owning a solar system.

What Is a Solar PPA and How Does It Work?

A solar PPA is an agreement between an energy consumer and an independent power producer. The provider installs the solar PV system on the customer’s property and delivers power generated by the system back to the user. The customer pays a fixed price per kilowatt for the electricity used. This is usually lower than the grid electricity price. The solar panels may be installed on rooftops or open land, depending on the site layout. The provider handles the installation of a solar system and maintains a solar system throughout the term of the agreement.

With a solar PPA, the customer does not buy the solar equipment or pay capital costs. The PPA provider owns the solar system, manages operation and maintenance, and sells the power produced. This differs from buying a system outright or using solar financing to cover upfront costs. PPA agreements allow energy consumers to go solar with no capital investment and no responsibility for maintaining a solar system. You only pay for the electric power you use.

The power producer owns the solar system installed on the customer’s property. The customer pays only for the energy generated and consumed. This removes the need for capital investment or maintaining a solar system. At the end of the term of the PPA - usually 10 to 25 years - you can choose to extend the PPA, remove the system, or buy the solar equipment. The system on the customer’s property remains the responsibility of the provider until the contract ends or you purchase the system.

The Benefits of Solar PPA's for Your Business

  • Lower Your Electricity Bill Without Capital Investment

    PPAs reduce your electricity bill from the first month. You pay a fixed rate for solar electricity, which helps protect against tariff increases. You avoid capital costs because the provider installs the solar PV system at no upfront cost. This model gives you access to cheaper power with no financial risk. You also benefit from predictable energy pricing over the term of the agreement.

  • Enjoy Renewable Energy and Predictable Energy Costs

    Solar PPAs let you switch to renewable energy without owning a solar system. You lock in a fixed energy rate that remains stable even when national tariffs rise. The PPA model supports future energy planning by giving you cost certainty. Your system performance is monitored, and the provider ensures it meets your ongoing energy consumption needs. You get the benefits of solar energy while avoiding fluctuating energy prices.

  • Reduce Your Energy Costs Without Owning the System

    You get full access to a high-performance solar energy system without upfront spending. The PPA provider installs and maintains the system, covering all capital investment and operating expenses. You don’t worry about maintaining a solar system or system performance. You just pay for the energy consumed, and the provider takes care of the rest.

Why Choose a Solar PPA in South Africa’s Electricity Landscape?

Use Independent Power Without Relying on the Grid

A solar PPA provides access to an energy system on a customer’s premises that operates independently from the grid during the day. You lower your reliance on the national grid while improving site-level energy security.

These systems are particularly useful during supply disruptions or peak tariff periods. Solar and storage options can also be added to extend independence beyond daylight hours.

Avoid Rising Electricity Prices with Fixed-Rate Solar PPAs

Electricity prices in South Africa continue to rise year after year.

With a solar power purchase agreement, you lock in a fixed rate per kilowatt.

This helps protect your business or household from future tariff increases. You gain financial stability while still receiving clean, renewable power.

Support the Shift Toward Renewable Solar Energy in South Africa

PPAs help grow the solar industry and expand the availability of renewable energy. When you enter into a PPA, you support the development of local solar projects and power plants.

You also reduce your carbon footprint by choosing a clean energy source. Many solar PPAs now include renewable energy credits to support national sustainability goals. Your decision helps build a future powered by renewable solar energy.

Common Questions About Solar Power Purchase Agreements

What Happens to the Solar System at the End of the PPA?

At the end of the term of the PPA, you may choose to remove the system, buy the solar equipment at a reduced rate, or extend the agreement. This flexibility makes solar PPAs a practical option for both residential and commercial users. The system is already installed, tested, and optimised, so extending the PPA is often the most cost-effective choice.

With a solar power purchase agreement, you avoid capital expenses. Other solar financing methods often require a loan or outright purchase. A PPA keeps your cash flow flexible while delivering a working system on-site. The PPA provider handles every element, from the installation of the PV system to the maintenance of the equipment. For many users, the main benefit is access to solar energy without the risks or costs of ownership.
