What you get
What Solar-as-a-Service
Means for Your Business
Zero Capital Expenditure
CIPA Energy Resources finances 100% of the solar system. Design, procurement, installation, grid connection, and commissioning. You incur no capital outlay at any point. The asset sits on your balance sheet only if you choose to purchase it at end of contract.
- No upfront payment — ever
- No financing facility required from you
- No impact on your capital budget or borrowing capacity
- Optional end-of-term purchase at agreed residual value
Predictable, Below-Grid Tariff
Your energy tariff is fixed at contract signing. Typically 20-40% below your current blended grid and diesel cost. It escalates at a pre-agreed rate, always below Ghana's historical utility tariff inflation. You know your energy cost for the next 15-20 years from day one.
- Fixed tariff per kWh — locked at signing
- Escalation capped below grid inflation rate
- Guaranteed savings from commercial operation date
- Single monthly invoice — no surprises
Full Engineering & Installation
CIPA Energy Resources manages the entire technical delivery. Site assessment, structural engineering, electrical design, equipment procurement, installation, grid interconnection, and commissioning. Our qualified EPC partners execute to CIPA Energy Resources' technical standards under independent engineer oversight.
- Rooftop, ground-mount, and carport configurations
- Systems from 50kWp to 5MWp and beyond
- Single-phase and three-phase grid connection
- Independent engineer sign-off on commissioning
Lifetime Operations & Maintenance
CIPA Energy Resources owns the asset and carries full responsibility for its performance for the life of the contract. Our O&M team monitors system output 24/7, dispatches for faults, conducts preventive maintenance, replaces underperforming components, and provides annual performance reporting.
- 24/7 remote performance monitoring
- Preventive maintenance on a fixed schedule
- Component replacement at CIPA Energy Resources' cost
- Performance guarantee — minimum generation levels assured
Long-Term O&M Partnerships
The commercial relationship is governed by a comprehensive Energy Service Agreement. A bankable, legally robust contract that defines tariff, escalation, performance obligations, insurance responsibilities, termination provisions, and end-of-term options. Structured to meet DFI and lender requirements.
- Standard term: 15-20 years
- Termination provisions with defined exit costs
- Change of ownership provisions included
- Force majeure and grid interruption protections
ESG & Carbon Reporting
Every CIPA Energy Resources SaaS client receives an annual sustainability report documenting verified CO₂ avoidance, energy savings, and SDG impact attributable to their solar asset. For businesses with ESG commitments, supply chain audits, or international reporting obligations, this is infrastructure-grade evidence.
- Annual CO₂ avoidance certificate (tonnes)
- Energy savings statement (kWh and GHS)
- SDG 7 and SDG 13 impact attribution
- Compatible with GRI and CDP reporting
How the savings are generated
01
Displace Grid & Diesel
Solar generation directly offsets your most expensive power sources — ECG grid units and diesel generator running hours — during daylight hours when your demand is highest.
02
Lock In a Lower Tariff
Your CIPA Energy Resources tariff is contractually fixed below your current blended energy cost at signing — meaning you save from day one and the gap widens as grid tariffs rise.
03
Reduce Demand Charges
Solar generation flattens your demand profile, reducing peak demand charges from your utility — a significant cost driver for larger C&I consumers on time-of-use tariffs.
04
Eliminate Unplanned Costs
No generator servicing, no fuel procurement, no inverter replacements, no panel cleaning contracts. CIPA Energy Resources carries all operational costs — your energy bill is the only line item.
