About Activ8

What is a Solar PPA?

A Solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) gives your business access to solar energy with no upfront cost. Activ8 Energies installs and manages the system, while the electricity generated is paid for through an agreement with SSE at agreed rates—often fixed, but sometimes linked to inflation or annual increases. This means lower energy bills, reduced carbon footprint, and no capital outlay.
