The equipment need
A farm business had ended its egg production following a change in regulations, leaving nearly 6,000 m² of unused buildings. It wanted to put part of the roof area to use with a 500 kWp solar array, in an area zoned for that activity.
The investment, about $458,000, had to be financed without using the company's remaining cash.
- Solar PV modules
- Inverters
- Rooftop mounting systems
- Grid interconnection
The support described in the project
Leaseworld analyzed the project, the power purchase agreement and the projected production plan to build a sound file for its banking partners.
A 120-month equipment lease with a purchase option was arranged covering the modules, inverters, mounting systems and grid interconnection, with payments calibrated to be covered by electricity sales from commissioning.
The reported operational outcome
The array was installed and connected with no down payment, with payments absorbed by energy production. The company turned idle real estate into a long-term source of recurring revenue, and the end-of-lease purchase option allows it to take ownership of the installation at a residual price.
