SolarSense Launches Solar as a Service to Accelerate UK Business Decarbonisation

SolarSense has officially launched Solar as a Service – a fully funded model designed to make clean energy accessible to more organisations without the burden of upfront capital expenditure (CapEx).

Aimed at businesses seeking to cut costs and accelerate their Net Zero goals, the service enables the installation of solar PV, battery storage, and solar carports with no capital outlay, no ownership obligations, and no maintenance responsibilities. Instead, clients pay a fixed monthly fee and can start achieving significant energy cost savings compared to grid electricity from day one.

“Installing solar PV is one of the most effective ways to cut costs and combat climate change, however, too often we see businesses delay action because of the upfront investment. Our Solar as a Service model removes that barrier entirely – turning a major capital expense into a predictable operating cost, while delivering all the benefits of clean energy and immediate financial savings.” Chris Ashfield, Sales Director at SolarSense.

While CapEx offers the highest return on investment over the lifetime of a clean energy system, it also requires significant upfront capital – funds that could otherwise support critical business activities. From covering operational expenses and hiring staff to driving growth strategies or building emergency reserves, keeping capital free provides flexibility and resilience. For many organisations, this makes funded models like Solar as a Service a more attractive route to decarbonisation without compromising liquidity.

That’s why many businesses are exploring Solar as a Service, a fully funded alternative that removes the financial barrier to clean energy. With no upfront cost and a fixed monthly fee, you can start reducing energy bills and carbon emissions immediately, while preserving your capital for strategic investments elsewhere. It’s a low risk, high impact solution that supports both your sustainability goals and your bottom line.
