Business Model Comparison
You would generally find two options in the market – investing into a rooftop solar plant or buying solar power under a power purchase agreement (PPA). Both the options can be availed under two models: the capital expenditure (CAPEX) model or the operating expenditure (OPEX) model.
In this section, we help you make an informed decision by highlighting the differences between the two in terms of their merits and disadvantages, and which model suits your business better.
CAPEX
- Customer owns the asset
- Upfront investment
- Capital repaid through generated electricity
- Payback less than 6 years and full saving from generated electricity for the coming years
- Tax benefit (income tax, VAT)
- Other benefits (if any i.e. carbon credit, incentives, etc.)
OPEX
- Developer owns asset
- No upfront investment, only provide roof (in good condition)
- Saving generally 10% from generated electricity
- Contract 25 years, penalty for prematurely termination
- No tax benefit
- Other benefits taken by developer
Any corporation that can make an upfront investment in purchasing a solar power plant can go for a CAPEX model.
A CAPEX investment carries huge potential in that you can develop a 30% equity IRR with well-managed CAPEX projects, and your project payback time after 5 years is typically only 1 year.
It’s a great investment.
