NEXEN GUIDE / REVIEWED 23 AUGUST 2026

Commercial solar: CAPEX, finance or PPA?

Compare ownership, cash flow, contract obligations, energy price and operational control before choosing a structure.

CAPEX maximises ownership

The customer owns the asset and its operating value, while carrying capital approval, maintenance and lifecycle responsibility.

Finance changes cash flow, not physics

The same site design still needs to perform. Compare total cost, security, term, ownership and early-exit conditions—not only monthly cash flow.

A PPA is a long-term energy contract

Price, escalation, term, performance, roof access, maintenance, sale or lease changes and termination provisions require legal and commercial review. Nexen's R8 pathway remains subject to applicable class conditions.
