Solar power purchase agreements

Buy the power.Not the panels.

We fund, build, own and maintain the solar plant on your roof or land. You simply buy the clean energy it makes — on demand, at a rate below the grid, with nothing upfront.

R0 capital outlay below-grid tariff 20yr power supply
01

Tariffs keep climbing. Grid electricity has risen at double-digit rates year after year, with no ceiling in sight.

02

The grid is unreliable. Load-shedding and outages stall irrigation, cold rooms, processing lines and trade.

03

Solar capex is heavy. A bankable plant ties up cash most farms and businesses would rather deploy elsewhere.

The model

A solar plant you use,
not one you have to buy.

Under a power purchase agreement, Sumaren Sende carries the cost and the risk. You pay only for the clean kilowatt-hours you actually consume — and you pay less for them than you would on the grid.

STEP 01

We design & fund

We assess your load profile and roof or land, then engineer and finance a plant sized to your real demand. No capital from you.

STEP 02

We build, own & maintain

We install, monitor and service the system for the full term. Panels, inverters and uptime stay our responsibility.

STEP 03

You buy the power

You pay a single, predictable rate per kWh generated — below your grid tariff, with a capped annual escalation you can plan around.

Included for the term: monitoring, cleaning, repairs and performance guarantees — all carried by Sumaren Sende. Insurance of the installed system is the client's responsibility.

Who we power

Built for operations that
can't afford to stop.

We focus on businesses with steady daytime demand — where reliable power is a production input, not a convenience.

Agriculture

Farms & agri-processing

Run irrigation, cold chain and processing through peak sun and through load-shedding — while cutting your diesel bill.

  • Irrigation pumps & centre pivots
  • Cold rooms, pack houses & ripening
  • Dairies, poultry & livestock systems
  • Diesel-generator displacement
Commercial & industrial

Factories, warehouses & trade

Protect uptime and turn an unpredictable electricity bill into a fixed, lower line item you can forecast for years.

  • Manufacturing & production lines
  • Cold & ambient warehousing
  • Retail centres & office parks
  • Logistics & distribution hubs
