Path 1
Direct purchase
Buy the system outright or with commercial finance. SIPENERGY designs, installs, and commissions. You own the asset, claim the depreciation, and keep 100% of the energy savings.
- 4–6 year payback on a well-sized system
- Full savings flow to your P&L from day one
- Depreciation and tax-deductible finance interest
- Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) or Large-scale Generation Certificates (LGCs) depending on system size
- 25-year panel warranty, 12-year workmanship
Best for businesses with healthy cashflow and long-term occupancy.
Path 2
Power Purchase Agreement
Zero upfront capital. SIPENERGY designs and installs the system; Agile Energy funds, owns and maintains it for the life of the agreement. You only pay for the energy the system produces, at a fixed rate typically 20–40% below grid.
- $0 upfront capex, off-balance-sheet
- Predictable $/kWh rate, indexed or fixed
- Maintenance, monitoring, and replacement included
- Generation data reported for your own energy reporting
- End-of-term options: ownership transfer, extend, or remove
Best for businesses prioritising cashflow or off-balance-sheet treatment.
