In Great Britain, solar roofs have been developed by the financing company Macquarie Energy Leasing Limited. Indeed, the latter has announced the launch of OnStream Solar. This decision offers installations, financing and maintenance of rooftop solar photovoltaic systems, as well as power purchase agreements (PPA) for commercial and industrial customers. This solution allows companies to reduce their energy costs and meet their ESG objectives.

Solar roofs for all areas of Great Britain

OnStream Solar works with companies of all sizes in a variety of industries such as cold storage, logistics, data centers, manufacturing, food and beverage, retail and tourism. By offering on-site projects with no upfront costs in exchange for a PPA, OnStream Solar is accelerating the adoption of solar energy in the UK. Indeed, the latter allows to act directly for the energy transition by reducing carbon emissions.

Macquarie supports this agile, flexible, and sustainability-focused business with its expertise, resources, and global reach.
