Vattenfall is offering solar partnerships in Germany with small and medium-sized businesses to use roof space for the production of photovoltaic electricity.
The Swedish company plans to invest in the installation of the plant on the commercial roof and assumes all initial costs as well as maintenance and operation management on behalf of the customer.
Vattenfall said the solar partnerships comes in two variants.
The sustainable solar partnership allows customers to lease the PV system over a period of usually 20 years, after which the company owns the system.
Under the flexible solar partnership, the lease term of the plant is initially at least eight years, after which the customer decides whether to extend the contract, purchase the plant or hand it over to Vattenfall for further use.
Vattenfall project manager Valentin Voigt said: “By eliminating taxes on self-consumed solar power, commercial customers can cut their operating expenses for electricity in the short term.
“With these savings, customers can then directly finance their investment assets.”
