INICIO FUNDING SOLUTIONS THAT GIVE YOU THE POWER
The inspired way to take control of your energy costs
Securing long terms savings on energy bills whilst also hitting sustainability targets has never been more important, particularly for high energy consumption businesses. The rapid growth of solar power is seen across industry as the perfect solution but for many organisations the initial installation outlay, along with ongoing maintenance, can be a stumbling block. This is where a PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) can help you make an inspired decision when it comes to your energy costs. Partnering with Inicio Energy Solutions we can help you and your business save thousands of pounds every year whilst also contributing to sustainability targets and the pursuit of net-zero status.
How Solar Power Purchase Agreements work
Finance your solar PV installation with no upfront costs and make huge long-term savings.
Solar Power Purchase Agreements are a long-term contract that guarantees our business clients the installation of solar panelling, in exchange for a pre-arranged fixed rate. Inicio PPAs are a route to a greener future for your firm, at a fair rate provided by a 5-to-25-year, hassle-free agreement. Once we’ve agreed on a fixed rate and collaborated through the Simple Steps below, your business will be set on the path to a future defined by sustainability and huge energy savings. At Inicio, we don’t spring surprise costs on you, when we enter into an agreement, savings simply follow. We own, install and maintain the solar panels, you will never pay a penny for them; but the important part is that you’ll see massive benefits from the energy they produce and the fixed rates we provide for many, many years.

5 Step Process
Step 1
Feasibility Study
Once your business’s interest in a PPA is established, we will initiate a conversation with you regarding your current energy usage and premises, this discussion helps us to project what our businesses can achieve together. We understand that the context each organisation operates in differs greatly, so this first stage is crucial in exploring your circumstances and, if our aims align, building a lasting relationship.
Step 2
Project Terms Agreed
If the feasibility study finds a PPA to be a practical solution for you, we can then begin to work out the key details of the agreement. At this stage we will need to establish and sign a Heads of Terms contract, which will outline the important factors of the agreement and the tasks we will have to fulfil in order to complete the project.
Step 3
Detailed Survey & Permit Applications Undertaken
Once your business’s interest in a PPA is established, we will initiate a conversation with you regarding your current energy usage and premises, this discussion helps us to project what our businesses can achieve together. We understand that the context each organisation operates in differs greatly, so this first stage is crucial in exploring your circumstances and, if our aims align, building a lasting relationship.
Step 4
PPA Offer & Final Proposal
After we have established the finer details of your requirements we will progress to the final stages of the process. We will arrange the leasing of the space above your roof and agree on a fixed rate that you will pay over the course of your contract, for your new green energy. You will still need to maintain connections with your local grid for any surplus energy requirements and permit applications will also have to be made at this stage to the relevant local authorities. Inicio will handle all relevant applications whilst keeping you closely in the loop.
Step 5
Project Planning & Installation
Following the acceptance of the final proposal, our specialist team will finalise an installation schedule that will cause minimal disruption to your day-to-day operations. All work will be carried out by fully qualified technicians and throughout the agreement, we will help to maintain these energy sources at no cost to your organisation.
