Refer a Business to Spirit Energy

Earn between £750 and £30,000 for introducing a building or business with a roof.

Does the building you work in have a roof? If you know of a building or business with roof space, you can earn a finder’s fee when they install solar with Spirit Energy. We handle the technical work, feasibility, proposal and installation. You simply make the introduction.

The business does not need to own the building to benefit from solar. If the tenant wants panels, they can either buy the system outright or use a funding partner who will cover the full cost and provide the landlord with a small share of the benefit.

This offer applies to any building that installs solar with Spirit Energy as a result of your referral, and you can refer multiple sites.

Grid electricity for UK businesses typically sits around 25 pence per kilowatt hour (unit of electricity), while well designed commercial solar systems deliver power for the equivalent of just 3 to 5 pence per kilowatt hour over their lifetime. An investment in solar will typically have paid for itself within 5 years, and continue to generate free electricity for over 25 years.

Solar fixes a portion of the business’s energy cost for 25 years or more, reducing exposure to future price shocks. It also supports ESG commitments by lowering Scope 2 carbon emissions (those associated with purchased electricity) and visibly demonstrating investment in low carbon infrastructure.

An unused commercial roof is an underperforming asset in the same way an empty buy to let flat is. A vacant flat earns nothing while costs continue, and an empty roof is the same. It delivers no value while the business continues to buy all its electricity at full grid price. By installing solar, that roof generates power every day, turning it into a productive asset.

The financial impact of delaying solar is clear. A site spending £50,000 a year on electricity could cut that by around £20,000 with solar. Wait a year and that £20,000 is lost. Wait two years and about £42,000 is gone after inflation is included. After five years, the business has spent roughly £122,000 more on electricity than it would have with solar, while competitors who acted earlier have already lowered their fixed costs.

Under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), a business can install solar with no capital expenditure at all. A specialist funder or investor pays for the entire system, including design, equipment, installation and ongoing maintenance. The solar array is built on the business’s roof or land, but owned by the funder for the term of the agreement.

Instead of buying the system, the business simply buys the electricity it generates at an agreed rate, usually 20 to 40 percent lower than the prevailing grid tariff. The business benefits from immediate savings and long term price certainty without tying up its own capital or taking on risk. When the term ends, the system can ownership can be transferred to the business.
