URPC supports multiple financing pathways depending on sector, system size, and eligibility. Options may include partner-bank financing, green finance programmes, and structured repayment models aligned to system performance and customer affordability.
For financed installations, a customer contribution is typically required to align incentives and reduce financing risk. As a planning range, customers should expect 10–30% upfront contribution, subject to lender policy and project risk profile.
Repayments are driven by:
• Total installed system cost (PV-only vs PV+BESS)
• Customer contribution amount
• Financing tenor and interest rate
• O&M fee structure (where applicable)
• Expected energy savings and diesel displacement
URPC uses a screening calculator for indicative figures, then confirms the final repayment schedule after site verification and lender approval.
“Bill-Neutral” means the monthly savings (grid reduction + diesel reduction where applicable) are structured to broadly offset the repayment and O&M costs, so the customer’s net monthly outflow remains close to the baseline. This depends on verified load data, operating hours, site constraints, and financing terms—so it is not guaranteed until validated.
URPC’s pricing typically includes the core system scope (PV, inverters/PCS, BESS if included, protections, installation, commissioning, and documentation). Site-specific elements may be itemised separately such as civil works, structural upgrades, interconnection works, permits, or client-side electrical upgrades if required.
Yes, A bankable system requires ongoing O&M to protect performance and warranties. O&M is commonly priced as a structured service—often equivalent to around 1–2% of system cost per year, billed monthly or annually (exact pricing depends on system class, SLA level, and site conditions). For financed systems, O&M is typically mandatory for the financing tenor.
For relevant financed deployments, URPC can implement prepaid mobile-money connected meters or contractual controls tied to repayment. Contracts typically include:
• Disconnection clauses on default
• Defined cure periods and reconnection rules
• A repossession or step-in pathway where permitted
The exact approach depends on the financing structure, sector, and applicable law.
Where agreed with financing partners, URPC can support a structured buy-back pathway for lenders in case of default, based on an asset valuation approach that applies 2.5% annual depreciation. This is a lender-facing credit enhancement mechanism and is subject to contract terms and eligibility.
Performance commitments, if any, are defined contractually and depend on the system type, operating profile, and client obligations (e.g., site access, cleaning conditions, no tampering). URPC provides performance reporting and operational governance; any guaranteed metrics (availability, PR bands) must be agreed in the SLA and O&M schedules.
Savings typically come from:
• Reduced grid energy consumption
• Reduced diesel generator runtime and fuel spend (where applicable)
• Improved power quality and reduced downtime (particularly for industrial/commercial)
URPC provides screening estimates via calculators and confirms the business case after verifying bills, load profiles, and site constraints.
Common screening inputs include:
• Identity and contact details
• Relationship to the site (owner/manager/authorised representative)
• Site ownership/tenure (owned vs leased)
• Turnover or affordability indicators (banded ranges)
• Willingness to commit to O&M for the financing tenor
Final lender decisions require validated documentation and a site assessment.
Yes, URPC retains partial submissions and can prompt you to complete missing fields. Our team can also support data collection and schedule a site visit to validate inputs.
No, Calculator outputs are indicative screening estimates only. Final pricing and repayment schedules are confirmed after site verification, engineering design, and financing approvals.
Typical milestones (illustrative) may include:
• Customer contribution / deposit (if financed)
• Progress payments linked to procurement and installation (if self-funded)
• Commissioning / Handover milestone
The final schedule depends on the contract model and financing route.
For financed systems, O&M is typically mandatory for the tenor. Even for self-funded systems, structured O&M protects yield and uptime, including routine cleaning (dust) and preventive checks on pumps and protections.
Timelines depend on system size, access, civil works, approvals (if grid-interactive), and equipment lead times. URPC follows a controlled pathway: intake → assessment → design → procurement → installation → commissioning → O&M.
All financial figures, savings, repayment examples, and eligibility outcomes are indicative and non-binding. Final terms depend on verified site data, engineering design, lender policies, credit assessment, and executed contracts.
