Own the system, keep every penny of the saving

If you have the capital, buying outright delivers the strongest long-term return. You own the asset, keep 100% of the electricity savings, earn export income, and can benefit from capital allowances.

Best lifetime savings — no third-party margin.
Payback typically 4–7 years, then decades of low-cost power.*
SEG income for surplus exported to the grid.
Potential capital allowances against your tax bill.
Owned asset can improve EPC and property value.

Common questions

What's the typical payback on buying outright?

For many pubs a well-sized system pays back in roughly 4–7 years, then generates near-free power for 20+ years. We model yours precisely at survey.

Can I claim capital allowances?

Commercial solar can qualify for capital allowances that reduce your tax bill. We'll flag it — but confirm treatment with your accountant.

What's SEG export income?

Under the Smart Export Guarantee you're paid for surplus power you send back to the grid, adding to your return.
