Usually 10–20 years (sometimes flexible depending on customer needs).
Contract length balances risk & return for both parties.
The customer pays per kWh of solar energy consumed, often cheaper than grid tariffs.
Price can be fixed or with a pre-agreed escalation
Savings are locked in because grid tariffs usually rise faster than the PPA escalation.
Candi owns the system during the PPA term.
They handle insurance, operations, monitoring, and maintenance.
Customer just pays for energy consumed.
Candi guarantees the system will generate a certain minimum output.
If performance drops, Candi bears the loss, not the customer.
Monthly billing based on actual solar energy supplied.
Usually integrated with net-metering if allowed (exporting excess to the grid).
No surprises — only pay for what you use.
Candi Solar covers all installation costs—no initial capital expenditure required from you.
Instead of fixed monthly payments, your repayments are tied directly to how much energy the system produces. If generation is high, payments increase; if it’s lower, your costs adjust accordingly.
Unlike most PPAs, the asset lands on your balance sheet from day one, allowing you to claim tax incentives and depreciation benefits.
You can still benefit from South African solar tax incentives—specifically Section 12B, which allows a full 100% first-year deduction of the installation cost (relevant post-Feb 2025).
Candi Solar handles operations, maintenance, monitoring, and performance risk—all included in the contract. You focus on your core business, not solar upkeep.
Budget-Friendly: No upfront capital and payments that mirror actual energy output.
Tax Efficient: On-balance sheet structure lets you unlock South African tax deductions you’d miss out on with a PPA.
Performance-Assured: You’re not left with underperforming assets—Candi handles all the risk.
Balanced Financial Position: Solar becomes a manageable, strategic investment—not a burden.
