Turnkey Renewable Energy Solutions

BrightBlack Energy specialises in designing, installing, and maintaining rooftop solar and battery storage systems for commercial, industrial, property and agricultural clients. We provide comprehensive solutions tailored to meet the unique energy needs of each business.

Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) allows our client to benefit from solar energy without the upfront cost of purchasing and installing the system themselves.

We fund, install and maintain the solar system on the client’s property. The client agrees to purchase the electricity generated by the system at a predetermined rate over a fixed period, often ranging from 10 to 20 years.

We retain ownership of the solar equipment and remain responsible for its maintenance and operation during the term of the PPA.

Outright Purchase

An Outright Purchase provides immediate ownership benefits, including potential tax incentives and long-term savings on electricity costs as the system generates power over its lifespan.

With an outright purchase, the client buys the solar energy system in its entirety from us. This involves a one-time payment for the full cost of the solar panels, inverters, and other necessary equipment payable on project milestones.

Once purchased, the client owns the solar system and is responsible for its maintenance and operation.

System Buy Back

A System Buy Back allows a client to sell their solar system to us at an agreed-upon price, providing flexibility and potentially reducing the financial risks and balance sheet burden associated with long-term ownership.

This option typically involves scenarios where the client initially purchases a solar energy system outright or through financing, which the client wishes to change to a PPA due to changing circumstances or to manage financial risks.

Such a buy back can also be incorporated with enhancing the existing solar system with the incorporation of a battery energy storage solution.

Operations and Maintenance

Operations and Maintenance services encompass the ongoing support and upkeep required to ensure the optimal performance and longevity of the solar energy system.

This includes regular inspections, cleaning of solar panels, monitoring of system performance, troubleshooting and repairs, as well as handling any necessary paperwork related to warranties or regulatory compliance.

By outsourcing O&M to us, clients can focus on their core business activities while ensuring their solar investment continues to deliver maximum efficiency and savings.

FAQ

BrightBlack Energy specialises in designing, installing, and maintaining rooftop solar and battery storage systems for commercial, industrial, property, and agricultural clients. We provide comprehensive solutions tailored to meet the unique energy needs of each business.

Rooftop solar systems capture sunlight using photovoltaic (PV) panels and convert it into electricity. This electricity can be used to power your business operations, reducing reliance on the grid and lowering energy costs.

Benefits include significant cost savings on energy bills, reduced carbon footprint, energy independence, and potential revenue from excess energy fed back into the grid.

Savings vary based on factors such as the size of the system, energy consumption, and local electricity rates. Our team can provide a detailed savings estimate based on your specific situation.

Yes, there are incentives available to businesses that invest in solar energy. Our experts will help you navigate these opportunities to maximise your savings.

The installation timeline depends on the size and complexity of the project. Typically, commercial installations take between a few weeks to a few months from initial consultation to system activation.

We strive to minimise any disruptions during the installation process. Our team works efficiently and can schedule installations in consultation with you to reduce the impact on your business.

Solar systems require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning and periodic inspections ensure optimal performance. BrightBlack Energy offers operations and maintenance services to keep your system running smoothly.

Most solar panels have a lifespan of 25-30 years, with some systems lasting even longer. Inverters and other components may need replacement after 10-15 years.

Yes, our solar systems come with monitoring tools that allow you to track energy production and consumption in real-time, helping you optimise your energy usage.

Excess electricity can be stored by integrating a battery energy storage solution. Depending on your location and the readiness of your electricity provider, excess energy can potentially be fed back into the grid, often earning you credits or payments through net metering or feed-in tariff programs.

Yes, we offer financing in the form of power purchase agreements (PPAs) to make solar installations accessible and affordable for businesses.
