Commercial models

CAPEX, RESCO or Hybrid — structured around the project.

Different buildings have different capital preferences. The right structure is decided after we understand your site, your consumption and your requirements.

Commercial models

Three ways to structure a solar project

Different buildings have different capital preferences. Entler can evaluate the commercial structure that best fits the project economics and customer requirements.

  • CAPEX

    Customer invests

    CustomerProject entity
    • Customer funds the system
    • Customer owns the system
    • Customer receives the generation savings
    • Suitable where the customer wants asset ownership

  • RESCO

    Entler / project entity invests

    CustomerProject entity
    • Project entity invests in the system, subject to financing and project suitability
    • Project entity owns/operates the system
    • Customer pays for solar energy/service under an agreed structure
    • Reduces or avoids upfront customer capital requirement where available

  • HYBRID

    Investment is shared

    CustomerProject entity
    • Customer and project entity share investment
    • Ownership follows the agreement
    • Savings and costs are structured between the parties

The appropriate model depends on site economics, electricity consumption, customer profile, financing availability, regulations and final contractual terms. RESCO and Hybrid availability is not guaranteed for every project.

Project economics

Every project starts with your actual electricity data.

We calculate project economics from your building’s actual electricity consumption, proposed system size, generation estimate, tariff, project cost and selected commercial model.

Project size

Monthly savings

Annual savings

Lifetime savings

Final numbers depend on tariff, generation estimate, consumption profile, system cost, financing and selected commercial model. We do not publish indicative savings without analysing your data.

For rooftop owners

Your rooftop can create value.

Sometimes the party that owns the rooftop and the party that pays the electricity bill are not the same. Both situations can work — they are simply structured differently.

Scenario A

If the owner also pays the electricity bill

  • Directly benefit from lower electricity expenses
  • Improve use of otherwise idle rooftop area
  • Create a long-term energy asset/service arrangement

Scenario B

If the owner is not the main electricity consumer

  • Create value from otherwise under-used rooftop space
  • Structure an arrangement with the electricity consumer
  • Potentially earn through lease/project terms, subject to feasibility and agreement

Rooftop income is not guaranteed. Any lease or project arrangement is subject to site assessment, project economics, applicable regulations and final agreement.
