This document summarizes a solar power purchase agreement program offered by REI Group. Through the program, REI will install and maintain solar panels on business rooftops at no upfront cost to the business. The business agrees to purchase the solar power generated for 25 years at a discounted rate. REI receives payments from the government and handles operations and maintenance. Eligible businesses must have a south-facing roof without shading, consume at least 80,000 kWh annually, and be financially stable. The installation process takes 1-2 months. REI then monitors the system remotely to maximize savings and address any issues. Case studies show businesses have saved tens of thousands through reduced electricity bills and carbon offsets over 20 years.

- 1. HARNESS Utilising solar energy to save money and reduce carbon emissions
- 2. Why consider solar? • No control over volatile energy prices • Electricity costs have doubled over the last 10 years* *Data provided by the UK Department For Energy & Climate Change (DECC) What will your electricity bill be in another 10 years? Do you want to have to rely on carbon intensive fossil fuels? UK electricity grid is already struggling to generate sufficient electricity supply.
- 3. Take responsibility and generate your own cleaner, greener, cheaper electricity with REI
- 4. About us • REI was established in 2011 • We fund, develop, monitor and manage commercial and residential electricity generating solar PV systems across the UK • Our board and management team have a unique blend of expertise and experience: • financial and investment markets and sectors • solar PV installations (over 1,000 to date) • legal, technical, commercial and sales We help businesses achieve long-term reductions to their ever increasing electricity costs by enabling them to generate their own clean, green electricity from solar energy. For Free.

- 7. Why solar PV makes sense • Generate your own power for your premises • Lower your operating costs through reduced energy bills • Demonstrate your environmental responsibility • Protect against ever increasing electricity bills • Improve the energy efficiency rating of your building
- 8. REI provides a fully-funded solar PV service from initial enquiry through to installation, monitoring and on-going maintenance.
- 9. SIMPLICITYHow our scheme works
- 10. You agree to lease the airspace above your roof for 25 years We install our solar PV system onto your roof, free of charge You receive discounted electricity produced by the system via a Power Purchase Agreement We receive payment from the Government under the Feed-in Tariff Scheme that was established to incentivise the deployment of renewable energy technologies We monitor, maintain and insure the system for 25 years, at no cost to you After 25 years, ownership of the system transfers to you to enjoy 100% free solar PV electricity for the remaining lifetime of the system (c.10 years) 1 2 3 4 5 6 How does it work?
- 11. Roof aspect Can your business take advantage of a PPA? South East - South West facing pitched or flat roof No shading A south-facing pitched roof without shading in the south of the country provides the best setting for a solar PV system
- 12. Roof aspect Roof & building size Can your business take advantage of a PPA? More than 400m2 total building footprint Systems sized between 20kWp and 250kWp are ideal under this scheme and will typically require this minimum building footprint
- 13. Roof aspect Electricity consumption Roof & building size Can your business take advantage of a PPA? Consistent on-site electricity consumption You must consume at least 80,000 kWh of electricity per annum with a regular daily usage profile
- 14. Roof aspect Electricity consumption Financial status Roof & building size Can your business take advantage of a PPA? Financial Status Your business must be financially stable
- 15. Roof aspect Electricity consumption Financial status Planning considerations Not a listed building or in a conservation area No planning permission is likely to be required Roof & building size Can your business take advantage of a PPA?
