There are increasing pressures to develop carbon neutral buildings and businesses, which in turns creates a need for business owners to utilize risk-free, affordable clean energy. Building owners and developers are facing heightened pressures to meet renewable energy and sustainability targets. Otter Clean Energy Partners was created in recognition of the risk a business takes when building their own solar PV generators.
We’ve created a “Solar as a Service” solution that allows building owners to meet those requirements without the cost or risk of building and operating their own solar PV system.
How does “Solar as a Service” work?
The process is simple. Otter Clean Energy Partners designs, builds, owns and operates the solar PV system connected directly to your building. You pay a predetermined flat rate for the energy produced by solar, enabling you to utilize clean, renewable solar energy at your building risk-free.
- Sign PPA, Pay Less Than Grid Prices – With a Power Purchasing Agreement, you pay a predictable, predetermined flat-rate per kilowatt-hour that costs less than buying energy from the grid.
- OCEP Builds Your System – We take care of the rest. We design, construct, maintain, monitor and own the solar system on your building—you utilize the solar-generated electricity risk-free.
- Leverage Risk-Free, Renewable Energy – Your building benefits from affordable solar energy, helping you achieve green standards, ESG targets, attract better tenants, and increase your property’s market value.
What are the benefits of using “Solar as a Service?”
