01The OPEX / PPA Model

How the Model Flows

Under an OPEX / PPA arrangement, the project partner develops, finances and operates the solar plant, and the customer pays for the power generated under an agreed Power Purchase Agreement.

01

Capitaltron / Project Partner

Capitaltron and its project partner arrange development, financing and delivery of the solar asset.

02

Project Development & Financing

The project is developed and capital investment is structured and arranged by the partner side.

03

Solar Plant

A solar generation plant is engineered, installed and commissioned at the customer site.

04

Customer Consumes Solar Power

The customer consumes the solar power generated on-site for its operational energy needs.

05

Power Purchase Agreement

The customer pays for the power generated under a Power Purchase Agreement at an agreed tariff structure.

02How OPEX Works

Pay for Power, Not the Plant

In an OPEX model, the customer does not purchase the solar plant. The project partner owns and operates the asset, and the customer pays for the solar power generated and consumed on-site.

01

No Upfront Plant Investment

The solar plant is developed, financed and owned by the project partner. The customer does not purchase the asset outright.

02

Pay for Power Generated

Instead of paying for a solar plant, the customer pays for the units of solar power actually generated and consumed, under an agreed tariff.

03

Partner Owns & Operates

The project partner retains ownership of the asset and is responsible for operations, monitoring and maintenance across the agreement term.

04

Defined Agreement Term

The arrangement runs for a contractually defined term, after which ownership or extension options may be considered per the agreement.

03Potential Advantages

What an OPEX Structure Can Offer

An OPEX / PPA arrangement can offer several potential advantages for commercial and industrial customers — subject to project feasibility and the final terms of the agreement.

  • 01

    Reduced Upfront Capital Requirement

    The solar plant is financed by the project partner, so the customer avoids the upfront capital outlay of purchasing the asset.

  • 02

    Long-Term Power-Price Visibility

    An agreed tariff structure can provide clearer visibility into a portion of future electricity costs over the agreement term.

  • 03

    Renewable Electricity

    On-site solar generation supplies the customer with renewable electricity, reducing dependence on grid-sourced power.

  • 04

    Professional Project Development

    The project partner handles development, engineering, procurement and construction of the solar plant as a turnkey delivery.

  • 05

    Operations & Maintenance Support

    Monitoring, preventive and corrective maintenance are managed by the partner to sustain generation performance across the term.

Important

Commercial structures, tariffs, financing arrangements, regulatory requirements and project feasibility vary by project. Final terms are subject to detailed assessment and contractual agreement.
