More and more companies and property owners are considering incorporating solar energy to reduce energy costs and move towards a more sustainable model. However, the initial installation cost is often one of the main barriers.
In this context, the Physical PPA (On-Site) model offers an ideal solution: it allows you to generate and consume solar energy directly where it is needed, without having to make any upfront investment.
What is an On-Site Physical PPA?
A Physical PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) is a long-term energy supply contract. Under this model, a specialized company — such as RwC Energy Partners — designs, installs, finances, operates, and maintains a solar photovoltaic plant on the client’s premises (whether on a rooftop, building cover, or land).
In return, the client only pays for the energy generated by the installation, at a fixed, stable price — much lower than the traditional grid price — by avoiding all the costs of the conventional electricity system.
This way, the client enjoys all the benefits of self-consumption without having to bear the cost or management of the installation, while paying a significantly lower price per kWh during production hours.
Who is it for?
The On-Site PPA model is especially suited for:
Companies with constant energy consumption (industry, logistics, agri-food, commerce, etc.)
Sites with available rooftop or ground space
Owners who want to benefit from self-consumption without committing capital
Organizations committed to sustainability and reducing their carbon footprint
What are the benefits of a Physical PPA?
This type of agreement offers numerous advantages for both companies and high-consumption private users:
Zero upfront investment: No need to purchase or install the photovoltaic system.
Immediate savings: From day one, the client consumes cheaper energy than from the traditional grid.
Stable pricing: The kWh cost remains fixed for the duration of the contract, avoiding energy market volatility.
Sustainability: Solar self-consumption reduces CO₂ emissions and strengthens Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategies.
No technical worries: The provider handles maintenance, monitoring, and performance guarantees.
Flexibility at contract end: At the end of the term, the client can choose to renew, purchase the installation, or have it removed.
