Operating lease

No bank involved. We are the bank.

No upfront investment, no financing, no guarantees: the plant pays for itself out of what it generates. Just a fixed, fully deductible fee. Company cash stays where it is.

The problem

Solar pays off. Getting there is the problem.

The numbers are straightforward: with a plant of its own, a business sees its energy cost drop, and the investment pays for itself within a few years.

Then comes the part that stops everything. Capital tied up for months. A bank to convince. Guarantees to provide. And cash locked into a plant is cash unavailable to run the business.

So the project stays on the desk. Not because it doesn't pay off — because starting costs too much.

The solution

The capital is ours

We build and finance the plant, together with our industrial partner. No capital, no financing, no guarantees: just a fixed, fully deductible fee. From day one the output belongs to the business.

No investment

No upfront outlay. Company cash stays available to the business.

Immediate benefit

Energy costs drop the moment the plant comes online.

Deductible fees

Fixed, certain and fully deductible.

Top-tier technology

Latest-generation plants, managed on the client's behalf.

Sustainability and value

A concrete commitment that also shows in the accounts.

How it works

How construction is reached

First conversation

Location, consumption and available surface are all that is needed. One call is enough to establish whether the project stands up.

Design and grid connection request

We prepare the project and file the request with the grid operator. At this stage the only outlay is the operator's administrative fees and the fees for filing the T.I.C.A. request.

The T.I.C.A. quote

The grid operator issues the connection quote (T.I.C.A.). From that moment there are 45 days to accept it.

Development and structuring

Once accepted, we run the permitting process and close the financial structure with our partner.

Construction

Construction starts in around six months. We coordinate the EPC through to commissioning.

Permitting timelines vary by region. Any obstacles surface at step 1 and are reported immediately.

Is this the right route?

It is, if

  • Have significant electricity consumption
  • Want to invest
  • Have usable surface: an industrial roof, a warehouse, adjacent land or a plot
  • Would rather keep cash in the business than lock it into an asset
  • Do not want to take on financing or provide guarantees
  • Prefer a fixed, deductible cost to a variable one

It probably isn't, if

  • Have neither usable surface nor land

The questions we get most often

Nothing towards the plant. At the start there are only the grid operator's fees for the connection request and for filing the T.I.C.A. request. Not our fee — it is what it charges to process the file and issue the T.I.C.A. quote.

No. No guarantees are required and no bank is involved. The capital comes from our industrial partner.

Yes — operating lease payments are operating costs and are deductible. For the exact treatment in the accounts, a conversation with the company accountant is advisable: we provide the contract and the numbers.

It depends on the size of the plant and the structure of the transaction. It is one of the things we define in the first call, before any commitment.

End-of-term options are part of the structure and are agreed before signature. Nothing is buried in the small print: what is agreed at the start is what is in the contract.

Management is included. That is one of the reasons the operating lease exists: the plant does not become an operational burden for the client.

Yes. We operate nationwide, with a particularly strong presence in the south.

Let's run the numbers together

Three pieces of information are enough to see whether it stacks up: location, consumption and available surface. We check the rest.
