Solar Lease Contract Template

For Installer-Owned Systems Leased to Domestic or Commercial Clients

This professional, easy-to-edit agreement is designed for solar businesses offering leased PV systems — where the installer retains full ownership of the system while the client benefits from the energy it generates.

Built from real trade experience and reviewed for compliance with UK consumer and financial laws, this contract protects your long-term revenue while keeping client expectations crystal clear — covering ownership rights, lease payments, system care, and what happens at the end of the lease term.

What This Contract Helps With:

✔️ Defines Ownership Clearly
Outlines that the solar system remains the property of the installer or leasing company throughout the agreement — protecting your assets against misuse, modification, or claims of ownership by the client.

✔️ Secures Lease Payment Terms
Includes payment schedules, late fee structures, escalation clauses, and default procedures — helping you enforce lease terms fairly while protecting your income.

✔️ Includes Performance Guarantee Clauses
Sets realistic energy production expectations with thresholds and corrective terms, so you’re protected against unrealistic client demands.

✔️ Handles Early Termination & Buyouts
Covers what happens if the client wants to end the lease, buy out the system, or transfer it during a property sale — with fair terms that keep you in control.

✔️ Complies with UK Consumer Law
Includes a 14-day cooling-off period for domestic customers, plus clauses for recovering any costs if work has already started — keeping you protected and compliant.

✔️ Sets Out SEG and Export Payment Entitlements
Clarifies who benefits from Smart Export Guarantee payments or excess energy sold back to the grid — so there’s no confusion over revenue rights.

✔️ Covers System Maintenance & Access Rights
Gives you the legal right to access the site for inspections, maintenance, and system removal — without delays or legal ambiguity.

✔️ Protects Against Risk and Misuse
Covers damage, interference, denied access, or unapproved modifications — with liability clauses built from real installer experience.

Why This Template Is Priced Higher ?

This isn’t a basic service agreement — it’s a full leasing contract covering system ownership, performance guarantees, legal access, payment enforcement, asset protection, and UK compliance.

If you're offering leased solar systems, this document becomes the legal foundation that protects your business, your income, and your equipment for the entire term of the lease.

While generic lease templates can cost £150–£300+ from legal platforms (and often don’t cover solar-specific clauses), this version is trade-written, industry-aligned, and built specifically for solar installers — at a fraction of the cost.
